ReproducibiliTea Leuven journal club: A place for interdisciplinary discussion on improving science

Abstract

Started as a small journal club initiative at the University of Oxford, ReproducibiliTea (https://reproducibilitea.org/) is now an international network of journal clubs spread across more than 100 institutions in 25 different countries. As founders of the KU Leuven ReproducibiliTea chapter, we want to create a safe haven for interdisciplinary discussion about science in general, and more specifically about Open Science and Reproducibility. Additionally, the journal club serves to build a network of researchers at KU Leuven who are practicing open and reproducible science, to discuss standard practices present throughout the research process and ways to improve them, as well as to act as a support group for those aiming to grow a reproducible and open science skill set. By maintaining an informal setting and welcoming people from all backgrounds and disciplines, we hope to create an inclusive environment for friendly discussion. We are open to anyone, staff or students, at KU Leuven. We will present this initiative as well as its history, goals, and our outlooks for the future of this journal club and other open science initiatives at KU Leuven.
