We are excited to announce that the OSIRIS project has launched its new booklet, “10 Tales of Reproducibility”, a unique collection of personal, evidence-based stories that explore how reproducibility in science is being shaped, challenged, and supported across Europe. 

 

Rooted in two years of research, these ten tales are drawn from real experiences of researchers, journals, funders, and institutions navigating the complex landscape of reproducible science. Rather than presenting abstract frameworks or policy checklists, the booklet offers human stories that spotlight the everyday realities and breakthroughs of making research reproducible, transparent, and trustworthy. 

 

Reproducibility is central to scientific credibility. Yet, many disciplines still struggle with studies that cannot be repeated or verified. The 10 Tales emerged from extensive interviews, focus groups, policy assessments, and a systematic review conducted as part of the OSIRIS project. Each case highlights what makes reproducibility work and what can stand in its way across the research ecosystem. 

 

Whether it’s a grassroots initiative by early-career researchers or a top-down policy shift by a major journal, these stories offer lessons, challenges, and practical inspiration. They are intended to spark reflection, fuel dialogue, and encourage institutions and individuals alike to keep moving forward. 

 

Available as an interactive flipbook or downloadable PDF on the OSIRIS website, the booklet is perfect for use in training sessions, workshops, or as a conversation starter among colleagues. It reminds us that reproducibility is not just technical but also cultural. 

 

We invite everyone from PhD students to policymakers to read, share, and build on these stories. Because when science is reproducible, it’s stronger and trustworthy!
