Abstract
Reproducibility and replication efforts contribute in essential ways to the production of scientific knowledge by testing accumulated evidence. Reproductions and replications assess which findings are robust, promoting self-correcting science and affecting policy-making. Reproducible and replicable research increases the confidence in scientific communities and our investments and innovations relying on that knowledge, while active research fields appear when previous research fails to be replicated or reproduced. This study pushes our understanding of research reliability by reproducing and replicating claims from 250 papers recently published in leading economic and political science journals, documenting robustness rates by method and field.
