Collaboration & Cooperation

Reproducibility Networks (RN) are made up of different groups, allowing for collaboration and cooperation within and between these groups. This model is intended to be flexible and has a structure which supports coordination – both within and between those different elements.

Representatives of the individual RNs usually meet regularly to coordinate activity, share practice, develop collaborative approaches to research improvement and foster discussions with stakeholders .

Members of various RNs also partner with stakeholders and institutional members of the international family on projects that promote best research practices.
