There are, but the "replication studies" tend to change little details for whatever reason so they aren't really checking for reproduciblity anyway.

I don't mean details like where/when the study was performed, because obviously the original authors thought it would generalize beyond their exact sample. I mean they will change the methods to ask different questions on a survey, etc.

Also, they use statistical significance vs not to determine if the same result was observed (rather than having quantitatively similar results)... The entire situation is ridiculous.

You can start here though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reproducibility_Project
