- The Open Science Collaboration replicated each of the 100 psychology studies only once using roughly the original sample sizes, and when researchers applied that same low-powered design to a data set where each study had been replicated with more than 30 times the original number of participants, the resulting replication rate was even lower than the OSC's.
