Should you do a replication (same data) or reproduction (different data)? Reproduction - if possible - is much easier and can inform replication attempts. Even without data, reproducibility can be assessed (eg via preregistrations). Here is our handbook's decision tree:

New research co-authored by Dr Vera Kempe challenges this view, showing little evidence that child-led innovations spread through communities.
