Welcome to the Danish Reproducibility Network!
The Danish Reproducibility Network (DKRN) is a peer-led consortium located in Denmark. It follows an organisational format adopted internationally as nationwide “Reproducibility Networks”. The DKRN collaborates with the other Reproducibility Networks whilst remaining a unique and independent community.
Our mission
DKRN is a platform that connects Denmark-based researchers aiming to promote, facilitate and educate about open, reproducible and robust research. We aim to achieve this through fostering collaborations on projects and through the organisation of events. Our work will ensure that Denmark remains an integral part of world-leading efforts contributing to the dissemination of best research practices and positive culture change in academia.
More information
We recently published a paper about the conceptualization, organizational structure and purpose of the network in BMC Research Notes: A grassroots approach to peer support by the Danish Reproducibility Network

Contributors needed:
We are currently looking for representatives of academic and research institutions across Denmark to join the DKRN and contribute to projects on local and national scale. Our consortium welcomes contributions from researchers at all academic levels from all research disciplines, librarians, lab and research managers, research and academic educators as well as representatives of societies, associations and grant funding organisations. Get in touch with us directly at danish.repro@gmail.com
A special call for PhD students to help with a journal club
We are looking for enthusiastic PhD students to contribute to a Denmark-based ReproducibiliTea Journal Club. The journal meetings will be held remotely and we will discuss interdiciplinary papers on matters relating to open, reproducible and transparent research.
Staying informed:
If you do not have the capacity to contribute to projects and activities, but would like to stay informed, do sign up to receive our newsletter (instructions on the bottom of the page) or reach out to us if you would like to be added to our Slack workspace.
Events

We expect some more in-person meetings to take place in 2025, so watch this space!
D3A Conference 2024
We are going to present a workshop titled:
Level up your data & life science lab’s reproducibility!
We collected short videos from researchers in different disciplines at various institutions. They talk about the open and reproducible research practices applied in their work.
You can see them all on our YouTube Channel!
