Mission
The Brazilian Reproducibility Network (RBR) is a multidisciplinary and multi-institutional initiative to promote transparent and reliable research practices in the Brazilian scientific community. We recognize the need to evaluate and improve practices in different areas of science through methodological rigor, collaboration and transparency. We bring together researchers and institutions to foster debate on reproducibility in research. We promote training, conduct and encourage meta-science projects to study and improve the scientific process, and carry out activism with institutions and government bodies to promote transparent and reproducible research practices.
Goals
Our aim is to congregate groups and institutions from different regions of the country and areas of knowledge, catalyzing existing efforts to promote rigorous, reliable and transparent science in Brazil. Specific goals include:
​
-
Linking researchers, groups and institutions interested in reproducibility, experimental design, responsible research practices, open science and related areas;
-
Curating existing material and producing original resources on these topics for educational purposes;
-
Promoting and disseminating principles of open and reproducible science in the Brazilian scientific community;
-
Encouraging interaction among participants to foster equity, diversity and inclusion;
-
Promoting and publicizing events that aim to reflect on how to improve the scientific process
