Description - a brief synopsis, abstract or summary of what the learning resource is about: 

Project TIER (Teaching Integrity in Empirical Research) promotes the integration of principles and practices related to transparency and replicability in the research training of social scientists. 

The demo project available below consists of a "hypothetical" research paper, accompanied by complete replication documentation that meets the standards of the TIER Protocol Specifications.  The paper is "hypothetical" in the sense that it was prepared to provide a brief and user-friendly example of TIER replication documentation, rather than to report on substantive research.  Nonetheless, the results presented in the paper were generated from real data, and the documentation can be used to replicate the data processing and analysis that produced the results.

We suggest you explore this demo project in tandem with the TIER Protocol Specifications (located at: https://www.projecttier.org/tier-protocol/specifications/): the Specifications give general descriptions of all the components that should be included in the replication documentation for a paper; the demo project provides concrete examples of these components.
