We do not yet plan to support replications of empirical work. Organisationally, there is a desire to keep opening scope tight and theoretical to avoid having diffuse messaging at start up
Personally, I would make a case that replications are not as important in the ML/AI research as in the sciences of the physical (although this depends somewhat on what we mean by “replications”)
That said, I think that there is a strong argument for replications generally, and maybe in this field too, and if the Editorial Board agreed with that, then that is what we would do. I am beholden at this point to mention the connection to the UnJournal work that David has mentioned elsewhere in these comments.
So excited about this! Do you plan on accepting replications of empirical work?
