The R-Index, established by Professor Ulrich Schimmack in December 2014, serves as an influential platform aimed at enhancing the replicability of psychological research. Located at the University of Toronto Mississauga, where Schimmack has taught since 2000, the blog focuses on the critical evaluation of empirical findings in psychology. Through innovative statistical tools such as the Incredibility Test and z-curve, the R-Index addresses the challenges posed by replication failures and encourages greater scrutiny of published results.

The blog also features content about the replicability of psychology journals, detailed rankings of various psychological studies, and insights into research transparency. Schimmack highlights specific cases where widely accepted findings may lack credibility, providing an essential resource for both scholars and consumers of psychological science. By promoting rigorous standards and questioning established claims, the R-Index inspires a re-evaluation of the foundations of psychology, advocating for research that can withstand the tests of scrutiny and replication.
