【 摘 要 】

The Collaborative Replications and Education Project (CREP; http://osf.io/wfc6u) is a frameworkfor undergraduate students to participate in the production of high-quality direct replications.Staffed by volunteers (including the seven authors1 of this paper) and incorporated intocoursework, CREP helps produce high-quality data using existing resources and provides structurefor research projects from conceptualization to dissemination. Most notably, student researchgenerated through CREP make an impact: data from these projects are available for meta-analyses,some of which are published with student authors.The call for direct replications of published psychological research has been pronounced andsustained in recent years (e.g., Lindsay, 2015), yet accomplishing this in light of the currentincentive structure for faculty is challenging (Nosek et al., 2012). There is pressure for faculty topublish original research in high-impact journals and report significant effects (Franco et al., 2014),and so replication work often does not get the attention that it requires or deserves (Martin andClarke, 2017). CREP harnesses the potential of student research to answer this call.
