Abstract:
Data and the statistical program codes to analyze them are an elementary 
part of any empirical analysis in all fields of science. Nevertheless, 
especially in the social sciences this “data work” is most often not 
directly subject to the scientific quality control, namely the review 
process of scholarly articles before publication. (How) Has this 
contributed to the so-called "replication crisis", i.e. the fact that a 
lot of scientific findings cannot be reproduced? But what is replication 
and reproducibility? Is it really a crisis and if yes, how bad is it? 
How can the situation be improved and who can do it? These and many 
other questions will be addressed by Lars in his  presentation and the 
following joint discussion.
