Abstract

In this episode, we are exploring a student's perspective on Open Science – and specifically replication studies. Kristoffer Klevjer recently finished his Master’s degree in psychology at UiT The Arctic University of Norway and has now taken on a PhD. But already as a Master student, Klevjer was involved in replication studies. In his experience, replication studies can be beneficial to the student, the supervisor, and the scientific community at large. Furthermore, Klevjer argues that replications can be well suited for students at Bachelor level as well. The replication Klevjer did for his Master's degree can be found here.

In the interview, Klevjer refers to several publications and projects, including:
- Kool, W., McGuire, J. T., Rosen, Z. B., & Botvinick, M. M. (2010). Decision making and the avoidance of cognitive demand. Journal of Experimental Psychology: General 139(4), 665–682. https://doi.org/10.1037/a0020198
- The Collaborative Replications and Education Project on the Open Science Framework platform
- The Psychological Science Accelerator
