Replication Literature
Note: This list is a bit out of date. Nevertheless, if you are interested in learning more about issues of replication in empirical software engineering research, many of the resources below are excellent sources. You may want to start with the dark-bulleted items. Also consider checking out past proceedings of the RESER workshop, as well as the workshop summaries published in Software Engineering Notes (SEN).
We have tried to make this a comprehensive, yet concise list, but if there's other relevant work that you feel should be included, please email us the reference and category at jonathankrein [at] byu [dot] net.
