Options for making replications more visible

[LukasWallrich]

FReD apps are great for researchers who are proactively looking for replications - yet many will focus on searching for primary studies. Therefore, we want to communicate proactively where replications exist. Current ideas for that include the following:

• PubPeer comments: batch-post standardised PubPeer comments on original articles highlighting that replications exist
• Journal article comments: post similar comments on journal pages below original articles where journals allow that
• Browser plugin: offer Chrome (and other) plugins similar to PubPeer that pop up when article that has been replicated is viewed
• Zotero plugin: offer plugin similar to Retraction Watch that highlights when replications are 'missing' from library
• Replication bot: create bot that scans preprints and alerts authors who do not cite replications alongside originals (acknowledging that this is not always necessary) - similar to Retractobot
