Dear Colleague,

Yesterday the first five replication studies for the Reproducibility Project: Cancer Biology (RP:CB) have been published in eLife along with an editorial, three insight articles commenting on the replications, some comments from original authors, and a commentary written by Tim Errington and Brian Nosek about interpreting replications.

As you may know, RP:CB is an ongoing initiative to conduct direct replications of 50 high-impact cancer biology studies. The project's goal is to learn more about the predictors of reproducibility, common obstacles to conducting replications, and how current scientific incentives affect research practices by estimating the rate of reproducibility in a sample of published cancer biology literature. The RP:CB is a collaborative effort between the Center for Open Science and network provider Science Exchange, and will be published in eLife.

Through independent direct replication studies, the project aims to identify best practices that maximize reproducibility and facilitate an accurate accumulation of knowledge, enabling potentially impactful novel findings to be effectively built upon by the scientific community. 

The press has been very responsive to these initial results. Links to a few of the major articles are below, the rest can be found on the summary page here. We hope you find them interesting and that you will share the project with your colleagues and social media community using the #rpcb hashtag.
