Violin plots illustrating the impact factors of journals with various positions on replication studies. White circles showed the medians; box limits indicated the 25th and 75th percentiles; whiskers extended 1.5 times the interquartile range from the 25th and 75th percentiles; and polygons represented density estimates of data and extended to extreme values. Journals that did not mention if they accept or reject replications had the widest range of impact factors, from 0 (no impact factor) to 35.142.
