Replication is one of the key principles in science. The discovery that extremely influential, textbook findings in psychology cannot be replicated has led to a period of methodological introspection in the field. This period is referred to as the replication crisis. The replication crisis in psychology has been going on for years now. Here, I will give a brief overview of the replication crisis in psychology and the causes of the crisis. Moreover, I will focus on what psychology researchers have learned from the crisis: how to do better science. My aim is to present a variety of new initiatives and tools that support open and replicable research practices, including JASP, StudySwap, the Psychological Science Accelerator, Registered Reports, Open Science Framework, and Open Access publishing.
