    No 100-study sociology replication appeared in Nature Human Behaviour in 2017; the famous 100-study project was the 2015 Open Science Collaboration psychology replication in Science (~36% replicated)

    Before

    A 2017 study published in Nature Human Behaviour attempted to replicate 100 studies published in top sociology journals; fewer than half successfully replicated

    After

    The Open Science Collaboration's 2015 study published in Science attempted to replicate 100 studies published in top psychology journals; only about a third successfully replicated

    Why: Corrected the unverified 2017 Nature Human Behaviour sociology replication study to the real 2015 Open Science Collaboration psychology replication study (published in Science, ~36% replication rate). Verified present in body text; no bibliography or FAQ mentions of this study existed.
