Does anyone have any contacts at the Guardian (UK) in science journalism, particularly those interested in open science and/or metascience?

Check out the last myth of our myth-busting series created by the amazing ASAPbio Resident Xiuqi "Jade" Li! ❌ Myth 4: Posting a preprint online means I don’t need to think about copyright or licensing ✅ Truth: Copyright is automatic, and licensing is an active choice. buff.ly/lJZ1K3m

I have been running Nowhere Lab since 2021, and am very proud of the community we've built. Members communicated that their favourite things about Nowhere Lab were the informal chats and accountability, so now we have two sessions per week for this in different time zones per week! 🧡 Come join us!

There still seems to be a lot of confusion about significance testing in psych. No, p-values *don’t* become useless at large N. This flawed point also used to be framed as "too much power". But power isn't the problem – it's 1) unbalanced error rates and 2) the (lack of a) SESOI. 1/ >

Some @theguardian.com coverage! Women use exclamation marks 3x more than men—not from extra joy, but to avoid sounding unfriendly 😬 Online, neutrality reads as hostility, so warmth is outsourced to punctuation!! BUT it boosts likability and can hurt credibility www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Suggestions for resources on secondary data analysis? We're trying to support teams who want to make better use of big gov datasets. They need to explore but we also need to be careful of p-hacking. And then report appropriately to gov stakeholders. Suggestions for resources are appreciated!

Thrilled that our Stage 2 RR is now recommended by @pci-regreports.bsky.social!✨ We examined the restriction of researcher degrees of freedom in #preregistrations through the PRP-QUANT Template & found higher restrictiveness compared to a less detailed template! Link: doi.org/10.24072/pci...

Are there studies on the relation between the replication crisis and the trust that (psychology) researchers have in their research and the research conducted in their field? Most papers I find focus on the trust of laypeople, but I am wondering about researchers themselves in the crisis' context

Our project "New Approaches to Evidence: Theoretical and Practical Developments" (NATE) has been awarded funding by the Spanish Ministry! Over the next 3 years, we’ll host workshops, conferences, and even hire a PhD student at @vlc-lab.bsky.social . More details coming soon—stay tuned! #PhilSci

📚 The Status Quo of FAIR Data Sharing in Psychology doi.org/10.23668/psy... “While data sharing has increased, FAIRness remained limited: datasets were generally findable and interoperable but less accessible and reusable.”

Any early-career researchers in #workingmemory wanting to contribute to an #openscience initiative? I'm looking for help building up a data hub resource for the field. Volunteers can expect to devote a few hours, and might pick up insights into handling research data and how to use Github.

Academia is brutal: Paywalls, replication crisis, intransparency, inequity, billion dollar donations in peer review, etc. Read in our inaugural editorial how R2 solves these problems. www.uni-muenster.de/Ejournals/in...

Friendly reminder for those submitting manuscripts to PsyArXiv! Upon submission, moderators will check the preprint (i.e., the PDF file) and the metadata (i.e., the submission form) to ensure it fulfills the guidelines. Make sure you follow them! For details 👉 buff.ly/M3cRBW2

REPLICATION RESEARCH, the diamond open-access journal co-hosted by FORRT and MüCOS, is now live! 🔓 Free to read and publish for everyone, with open peer review, reproducibility checks, we are pushing the boundaries of what open scholarship and fair publishing mean. 🧵

Not at #SESP2025 but anyone who is staying in central Portugal for longer and wants to visit beautiful Coimbra and/or chat about metascience, let me know!

#SORTEE2025 Conference is over but you can (re)watch @ www.youtube.com/@SORTEcoEvo/... - Introductory & closing remarks by @eivimeycook.bsky.social - Plenary 1 by Dr. Israel Borokini - Plenary 2 by Prof. Simine Vazire

Great study! A general implication is that when we infer effects of retrospectively measure variables on outcomes, we’re largely just seeing the effects of how people are currently feeling.

📢 New commentary out today in Nature Human Behaviour! We argue that behavior change interventions often suffer from a one-sided success focus. But failures may reveal structural barriers people face. 🔗 rdcu.be/ex8hR #BehavioralScience #PublicPolicy

Psychologists & related fields: what is a big methods question that you believe remains somewhat unanswered & that you'd love to see adressed? There may be an opportunity for a large-scale meta-science project with many teams trying to figure out a question. Any thoughts welcome! #psychscisky

New working paper led by Jaspreet Singh: osf.io/preprints/ps... Some of you may know about repliCATS, in which (mostly Global North) experts used structured peer review to judge judge the credibility of behavioral research. We used the same method with behavioral scientists from around Nairobi 1/
