Call for Papers: Data, Replicability and Reproducibility in Linguistics

For scientific theories based on empirical data, reproducibility and
replicability are central principles, for at least two reasons. First, unless
we accept that scientific theories rest on the authority of a small number of
researchers, empirical studies should be reproducible, in the sense that their
methods and procedures should be carefully documented and relevant data should
be made available so that other researchers to conduct the same study and
obtain the same results. Second, for empirical results to provide a solid
basis for scientific theorisation, they should also be replicable in the sense
that most attempts to reproduce the original study using similar data and
methods would produce results similar to those presented in the original
study.

Although science depends on replicability and reproducibility, works aimed at
replicating impact studies are quite rare due to the emphasis academia places
on novelty: editors and reviewers of journals usually value original research
higher than replication studies. Likewise, editors and reviewers value the
presentation of empirical data (and significant findings) higher than, for
example, the presentation of raw data such as annotated speech corpora and
similar documentations.

We are organizing a special issue for Revista da Abralin whose objective is to
gather articles that contribute to the central principle of replication /
reproduction of experimental studies in the area of linguistics. The focus
should be on impact studies, i.e. studies that were or still are frequently
cited well beyond the authors' own citation circles, not necessarily only
those studies that directly led to influential theories).

Three types of submissions are welcome:

- Submissions that focus entirely on replication/reproduction. When designing
such studies, authors are encouraged to work in collaboration with those
author(s) of the original study to ensure that replication follows as closely
as possible the original methods.

- Submissions that replicate a key aspect of a previous study and then add an
own original piece of work on top, for example, in order to explain why the
previous results could not be replicated or in order to advance or
substantiate the previous results. This can be done by applying a different
(measuring) method, by using different speaker or listener samples (e.g., with
respect to language, age, or gender), or by following up on one of the open
questions raised by the author(s) in the previous study.

- Submissions that present a speech, gesture, or language-data corpus and that
make this resource available to the linguistics community.

All papers submitted to this special issue of Revista da Abralin should be
pre-registered on the Open Science Framework website (https://osf.io/).
