After the [IGDORE ReproducibiliTea journal club](https://onscienceandacademia.org/t/igdore-reproducibilitea-thread/2218) ended, a few of us wanted to continue the biweekly discussion group and I’ve volunteered to take over the organizing responsibilities. Rebooting for ReproTea 2.0 seems like a good time to discuss changes to the meeting structure, so I’d like to open a discussion to the community for feedback on some proposed changes to improve accessibility and overall organization, as well as give others the opportunity to suggest changes. If you didn’t go to IGDORE’s ReproTea 1.0, the normal session looks like a purely virtual and informal discussion about a seminal paper in the literature surrounding reproducibility and open science, heavily influenced by literature in the biomedical/psychological sciences but often discussing implications beyond these fields. Conversations often organically moved away from the specifics of the paper discussed, so the meetings are very friendly to those who haven’t the time to read the paper beforehand. The attendees spanned various disciplines and careers/career stages (including graduate students, professors, and physicians). At the end of the session there was a 30 minute “Open Science Coffee” period set aside for networking or expanding ideas previously discussed into potential research projects. Here are some possible changes I’ve variously discussed @Simone @Gavin and @alexbyrnes. If anyone is interested in continuing with us or joining for the first time and have thoughts, let me know by responding to the polls below. If you have suggestions and want to put up your own poll too, please do! _Poll ([view on site](https://onscienceandacademia.org/t/igdore-reproducibilitea-2-0/2364/1))_ Other changes I’d like feedback on: - Making the next paper we discuss into a community-driven decision. My suggestion is to use one of the various bibliometric search tools (my preferred is [research rabbit](https://www.researchrabbit.ai/)) to create suggested connected papers, and then vote on the suggestions. - Has anyone used/had positive experiences with the Zotero shared library [Groups](https://www.zotero.org/groups/) feature? One advantage I see in this is the ability to communally highlight/note on a document prior to discussion To demonstrate what this might look like, a Zotero group with the papers we’ve previously discussed can be found [here](https://www.zotero.org/groups/5967606/igdore_reproducibilitea_reading_list) and you can look at the papers we discussed in ReproTea 1.0 [here](https://www.zotero.org/groups/5967606/igdore_reproducibilitea_reading_list/collections/G4DUU28J/items/WU7HX3M3/item-list) ---

Thank you again, @Christian_N_Sodano, for doing this! 🥳 Just to be sure, ticking any of the boxes in the poll above = yes / agree? ---

> Has anyone used/had positive experiences with the Zotero shared library [Groups](https://www.zotero.org/groups/) feature? Yeah, we have a shared Zotero library for IGDORE which is an archive where multiple people can contribute papers. I’ve also used a shared library for a co-authored literature review, and there it was helpful for everybody adding notes about papers (I haven’t tried PDF highlighting). For people who are already using Zotero for reference management then I think using it for collaborative discussion will work well. For those who don’t, then there will obviously be a bit of a learning curve… FWIW ReproducibiliTea also has a Zotero library where IGDORE has a folder. Only group admin’s can get access so it isn’t useful for group level discussion, but you can use it to make a record of what the IGDORE group has covered visible in the ‘ReproducibiliTea system’ > **[Zotero | Your personal research assistant](https://www.zotero.org/groups/2354006/reproducibilitea/collections/4HXFSTB7)** ---

Yep!
