‘Oh my gosh, they’re all from London and Cambridge’: York University’s northerners fight back Lucy Morville, from Burnley, thought most students would be from the north and felt ‘culture shock’ surrounded by southerners

Lots going on here, including accent prejudice, and the availability of places for students from the north of England to “stay local” when (northern) English Russell Group universities attract a large percentage of high-achieving students from the south.

Comparing early-stage #L2 processing of derived and inflected words: a conceptual #replication of Jacob et al. (2018) with Chinese learners of L2 English (Wu & Fricke, 2025) doi.org/10.1017/S027...

if you're on the academic job market: check out the most recent episode of @quantitude.bsky.social, about The Job Talk - it's a great discussion of this kinda niche presentation genre & all it needs to accomplish (preview: it's not just about presenting all your research/making you look smart)

ReplicationResearch.org is now open for submissions!

Submit replications and reproductions from many different fields, as well as conceptual contributions. With diamond OA, open and citable peer review reports, and reproducibility checks, we push the boundaries of open and fair publishing.

Should you do a replication (same data) or reproduction (different data)? Reproduction - if possible - is much easier and can inform replication attempts. Even without data, reproducibility can be assessed (eg via preregistrations). Here is our handbook's decision tree:

💡 The idea that children drive language change is widely accepted — but does it hold up?

New research co-authored by Dr Vera Kempe challenges this view, showing little evidence that child-led innovations spread through communities.

The replication studies are not an optional extra – they are an essential part of the methodological procedure we use to make scientific claims. That is also why replications should be done way more often than they are. For more, see lakens.github.io/statistical_... 4/end
