Abstract

Across sciences the lack of reproducibility has raised concerns that shake disciplinary foundations. In this article, the need for institutional solutions as one possible antidote to reproducibility issues is suggested, and Reproducibility Networks (RNs), as a case in point, are explained. In particular, we reflect on the establishment of the Finnish RN as part of a growing international network of RNs, and outline a bottom-up approach, which aims at helping to overcome the reproducibility crisis by distributing awareness of ethical, practical, and other domains of relevant knowledge in places where the future of science is being made: the pedagogical structures of research institutions and societies.
