Replication Award Creation Kit

Despite their unquestionable value replication studies are hard to find in the literature. Dedicated academic awards have been shown to be an effective way to promote and incentivize replication studies. The purpose of this document is to describe how a replication award can be implemented within academic societies, communities, conferences or university departments.

This document outlines a particular way in which such award can be implemented. It might or might not fit any particular organization, but the general principle should be applicable across most scientific fields.
