Description: On the forefront of the open-science movement is the blog "Replicability Index (https://replicationindex.com/; Schimmack, 2016)", examining questionable research practices and inflated effect sizes with the goal to discourage their common usage and encourage a more objective way in assessing articles with sets of studies, journals, and science in general. Our goal with this master thesis is to create a generalizable method to assess IO-psychology journals and test the automated coding used on the R-Index blog, specifically the z-curve (Brunner & Schimmack, 2018), against a method of manual coding. The study will contain two parts: A replicability report of experimental studies published in JAP and a validation of an automatic extraction.
