Slack workspace for questions
In our Slack workspace, you will discover that we have separate channels for different purposes. For example, in the ‘general’ channel, general announcements are posted as well as a place to share training activities, workshops, and other relevant events or materials. Furthermore, we have three dedicated channels for ‘forum_preregistration’, ‘forum_registered-report’, and ‘forum_replication’ for specific questions, problems, and information concerning these topics. Additionally, there is a dedicated channel to the ‘journal-club-reproducibilitea’ in which we post announcements concerning the journal club. If you have any questions or you would like to join our Slack workspace, please contact Johanna Hein ().
The ReproducibiliTea Journal Club @ Geneva
The ReproducibiliTea Journal Club at the University of Geneva together with Campus Biotech is part of the broader ReproducibiliTea community and is a journal club organized by Abigail Licata, Agathe Cambon and Johanna Hein (also see the 'ReproducibiliTea' page). The journal club is organized once per month throughout the semester (the Autumn 2025 program will be shared soon, or follow us on Bluesky to remain up to date: @reprotea-geneva.bsky.social). During the journal club, a relevant paper about reproducibility or open science is discussed, we invite researchers to share their expertise and experiences with open and reproducible science, or we approach the topic of Open Science with fun boardgames. Additionally, we talk about our own experiences with reproducibility and open science practices and help/advise each other on potential problems. Currently, the Journal Club takes place in a hybrid-format, you can join in person at the University of Geneva (Uni Mail building), or online. If you would like to have more information about the ReproducibiliTea Journal Club, you can contact us via email:

- You are a researcher and you don’t know what an ORCID profile is? In short, an ORCID profile is a digital identifier to distinguish you from every other researcher. Nowadays, some journals ask you to have an ORCID profile upon publication of an article. If you would like to know more about this, check out this 15-minute online information session (click here). If you already have an ORCID profile but you would like to improve it, check out the advanced 1h30 online information session (click here).
