Replication Games</a> at the upcoming Polmeth meeting in Riverside, CA on Saturday July 20th, 2024. Replication Games are one-day events that brings researchers together to collaborate on replicating papers published in high-ranking journals. Replication is
a crucial aspect of scientific research, ensuring that results are reliable and reproducible. By participating in the Replication Games, you will not only contribute to the integrity of research in your field but also have the opportunity to network with fellow
researchers and develop your coding skills. All participants will be given co-authorship to a meta paper aggregating the reproduction/replications results.</div>
