Complete Reporting for Transparent Reproducibility Efforts (CORTRE)
The CORTRE project develops a consensus-based reporting guideline for reproduciblity efforts -- projects that systematically re-examine previously published findings to investigate an aspect of their reproducibility. The project was launched at the Responsible Research in Action Unconference in Berlin in September 2025. Project outputs (ongoing) Resource Content Location Initial item list We created an initial draft list of reporting items as preparatory work for the project. It contains 52 potential reporting items. This is the list that is further evaluated in a Delphi process and part of our registered report – stage 1. Part of this zenodo entry.
