New paper, on a worrying trend in meta-science: the practice of anonymising datasets on, e.g., published articles. We argue that this is at odds with norms established in research synthesis, explore arguments for anonymisation, provide counterpoints, and demonstrate implications and epistemic costs.

"Through this special issue, we invite broader discussion on Diamond OA and its future(s), from the highly conceptual to the deeply infrastructural. What is next for Diamond OA as it oscillates between the potential for either a technocratic or community-led and commons-based future?"

🎉 Great news! Our team member Thomas Feliciani @thofel.bsky.social is one of the winners of the University of Coimbra’s 7th Seed Projects for Interdisciplinary Research. Congratulations to Thomas and to all the awardees! 👏👏 @ucoimbra.bsky.social #CiBB #CNC-UC #SantanderPortugalFoundation

I wrote a blog for the Meta-Research Center expressing my infinite frustration about not getting data. What else is new, you might think? Well, I added an extra layer of annoyance directed at the journals who do NOTHING to enforce promised data sharing. metaresearch.nl/blog/2026/2/...

📣 Our introduction to structural causal models in science studies is now published: doi.org/10.1162/QSS.... @tklebel.bsky.social and I tried to make our introduction as accessible as possible. We illustrate the theory by three case studies based on a simulated model of Open Science. 🧵(1/6)

We just posted some helpful tips on searching for preprints on psyarxiv: blog.psyarxiv.com/2026/01/27/h... Truncation and fuzzy matching should be especially helpful for lit reviews. Keep posting your preprints to psyarxiv ❤️

@forrt.bsky.social and the Münster Center for Open Science are organizing a Love Replications Week this year. Get in touch if you would like to contribute with tutorials, case studies, or discussions surrounding #reproductions and #replications! The full program will be announced soon!

New CfP in Qualitative Research in Psychology: 🔮 "The Future of Rigorous Qualitative Research" We're inviting papers that address the big question: What does the *future* of good, quality, rigorous qual research look like? 📄 Deadline Sept 2026 💬 Happy to answer Qs docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Nice to see the ICanHazPDF community is alive and well on Bluesky! Add this hashtag to your request, and once someone who has access to the article has sent it to you, delete the original post. #AcademicSky

Introducing CORTRE: a reporting guideline for reproducibility efforts 👉 cortre.github.io We are excited to officially announce CORTRE: COmplete Reporting for Transparent Reproducibility Efforts 🎯 🧵👇

"We find that questionable research practices (QRPs) are widespread across all fields of research and seniority levels. Yet, younger, more prolific researchers, and those dismissing the seriousness of QRPs admitted to more QRPs" journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

This is definitely one for my 'best podcast quotes' file - who DOES want to eat cake with no icing?? 🧁 😄 But Kirsty High makes an excellent point - impact is still too often seen as a 'nice to have' rather than an integral part of doing research well. Listen in your favourite podcast app.

Had a chuckle at this line from C. Thi Nguyen @add-hawk.bsky.social: "After all, step counts are not the same as health, and citation rates are not the same as wisdom". How much freer would we be if we resisted quantification across all aspects of our life?

Nominate someone for the 2026 edition of The Sarah Jones Award for exceptional contribution to fostering collaboration in #OpenScience! #OpenResearch Open to all, though a demonstration of contribution within the RDA @researchdataall.bsky.social community is of great importance.

Want to get the data out of a PDF figure? As in, the actual data – not a rough trace-along-the-lines version? I made an app you might like: adamkucharski.github.io/pdf2plot/ It all started a few years ago... 🧵

Our special issue with @martinkusch.bsky.social is finally complete and here’s at long last our introduction. I pitched the idea to him in 2019! Thank you for your patience and generosity, Martin. I am proud of this manifesto and hope colleagues will join us in rethinking this old debate #philsci

Explainers & tutorials are a great way to criticize current practices with a positive twist. Tailoring them to a specific substantive (!) subfield can greatly increase uptake. Forget about novelty; if some statistican said sth in the 70s but no one was around to hear it, say it again.>

📢 New preprint! Ten Simple Rules for Running a ReproducibiliTea Journal Club 🔗 doi.org/10.31222/osf... Our aim is to equip you as early career researchers with the tools needed to lead grassroots change in research culture. #reproducibility #openresearch #openscience #metasci #academicsky

#OpenScience #ResearchIntegrity #AcademicPublishing Preprint: Nießen, D., Poppa, C., Daikeler, J., Silber, H., Weiß, B., & Richter, D. (2025). Actor-driven risk factors of publication bias: Opening the file drawer of two probabilistic panel surveys. PsyArXiv. doi.org/10.31234/osf...#OpenScience

This was so fun and useful! It was amazing to learn about all the cool things @sortee.bsky.social is doing 🤩 Looking forward to continuing to learn from each other! 🤍

What great event! Thank you to @priyasilverstein.com for co-sharing all the coordination, ideas, implementation, etc... and to all the board members from @sortee.bsky.social and @improvingpsych.org who joined and were so motivated and supportive of the idea. Hopefully this is the first of many more!

I feel like a while ago I saw a special issue about how to choose replication targets, or something similar. Does anyone know what I'm thinking of and can point me towards it?

New version of tenzing, with support for acknowledgments sections, is now live at tenzing.club. Please try to break it, @martonkovacs.bsky.social has already fixed all the errors I found!

A quick (1000 words) read to enjoy with your morning coffee or afternoon tea: "Psychology wants to stay WEIRD, not go WILD" Why hasn't psychology diversified it samples, methods, theories, etc.? Because it doesn't want to. osf.io/preprints/ps...

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

📢 Interested in a PhD in clinical trials methodology? The Trials Methodology Research Partnership are advertising projects for PhDs starting Oct 2026, in statistics, health economics, epidemiology, social science, and more, hosted at one of 12 UK partner institutions. mrctmrpdtp.com/current-oppo...

📚 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...
