In contrast to the FORRT Replication Database (FReD), FLoRA does not contain statistical data. This allows FLoRA to include references from any field of research, and to be maintained with limited resources. -# Structure of FLoRA +**Replications** are studies that intentionally repeat prior research to test whether the original findings hold. To be included in FLoRA, a study must: + +- Self-identify as a replication (e.g., "replication of Author (Year)") before reporting results — replication must be an aim, not just a result +- Identify specific target study/studies that it replicates +- Replicate a study or experiment, not just a single association or finding + +**Replications** can range from close/direct (same methods, same population) to conceptual (testing the same hypothesis with different methods), as long as the above criteria are met. The plugin tags replication outcomes as Successful, Failed, or Mixed, based on how the replication authors characterise their results. + +**Reproductions** are attempts to computationally verify whether reported results can be obtained from the original study's data and methods. Reproductions are coded along two dimensions: + +- Computational success: Were the original results obtained? (Computationally Successful vs Computational Issues) +- Robustness: Do results hold under reasonable alternative specifications? (Robust, Robustness Challenges, or Robustness Not Checked) + +**Key distinction**: If new data are collected or used (e.g., an additional decade of data), it is a replication. If the same data are re-analysed to verify the original results, it is a reproduction. + +## Structure of FLoRA 1. Link repetition (replication/reproduction) references to original references
