Call for AS Replication Award

The AS introduces a novelty in sociology: Every two years, 1 to 2 papers will be honoured that have made a special contribution to the verification of research results by repeating central elements of another study in the form of a reproduction, reanalysis, replication or adversial collaboration.

Studies can be nominated by all AS members. (The authors of the replication study, however, do not have to be members of the AS). Further information on the current call for proposals (application deadline: 30 April 2025) can be found here. We look forward to receiving your submissions. Help us to ensure that authors can win the first replication prize in sociology!

Reliable science depends on replications that test the robustness and generalisability of research results. Replications are becoming increasingly important in research. Nevertheless, they are still relatively little used in research practice. With the AS Replication Prize, we want to change this and help replications gain more recognition and visibility.
