My past few weeks were @psychscience.bsky.social in Barcelona, @improvingpsych.org in DC, and examining @aliciafrancomnez.bsky.social's amazing PhD thesis, followed by some much needed relaxation camping and hiking in northern Portugal. Feeling lucky and hopeful about the future of psychology! 🤞✨

New website is live, including a new blog post :). I respond to the call by @psychscience.bsky.social asking how we can improve APS conferences. eiko-fried.com/blog/in-pers...

How much heartache would be saved if we routinely used cognitive interviewing/think-aloud procedures when developing instruments? We should know how respondents are interpreting instructions. Just frickin' ask people. It doesn't even need to be particularly rigorous.

Loved reading these reflections on #OSR26UK by Ruth Davies and @josefinaw.bsky.social 🥰

Really excited to be giving an invited talk at WoReLa 2! Submit an abstract at the link below 👇✨ 🌟 Second Workshop on Replication in the Language Sciences 🌍 Cologne, Germany 📅 8-9th July, 2027

I'm examining my first PhD defence in a couple of weeks and the dissertation so good that I want to request dozens of hard copies to hand out to everyone I encounter in my life. For a first PhD examination, I think I got pretty lucky!

We're excited to launch J·ROR, the Journal of Research on Research. A new open-access home for research on how research is funded, organised, conducted, communicated, and evaluated. Our first editorial: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... #ResearchOnResearch #MetaScience #OpenScience #STS

Please improve acknowledgments sections to better credit research contributors! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... Our new paper on this topic begins by summarising three pathways to improve crediting of research contributors – 1. Loosen authorship restrictions.

(How) can pre-registration serve the needs of qualitative research communities? Check out our entry for Practice #21 in the MORPHSS catalogue of open research practices in AHSS: Pre-registering qualitative research ⬇️ #OpenAHSS #OpenResearch #Pre-reg

We got some nice pictures taken of the @excelscior-era.bsky.social team :) new profile picture time!

That smile says it all! Was great to present some of the data from the Dignity Honor Face @psysciacc.bsky.social project at #APS26BCN! As far as I know, this is PSA's largest data collection to date and its first scale development study! Exciting all round 🤩 Many thanks to our 400+ coauthors!

In the Q&A/ discussion the topics of #OpenReviews and #PostPublication review came up, as well as options on how to make review work more visible. Especially the latter could have had more room, as views were seemingly different (e.g., @hansonmark.bsky.social ?), but alas, time ran out!

From the audience, reviewqualitycollector.org was brought in. According to them, an "initiative for improving the quality of scientific peer review by turning reviewing into a source of reputation." Certainly something to look into.

. @priyasilverstein.com discussed the role of editors in #OpenScience, and offered the example of the guide for #SocialScience journal editors on easing into #OpenScience link.springer.com/article/10.1... #JEDI #JournalEditing #AcademicPublishing #NightshiftEditor

. @alexh.bsky.social talked about letters rejecting #PeerReview requests for specific publishers, e.g., here on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/posts/alexho...

The #ECR reviewer's platform aims to empower junior reviewers and equip #ECRs with the necessary skills to conduct methodologically rigorous #PeerReview ecr-reviewers.gitlab.io/guide/ #PostGraduate #PGR

This was really interesting 👏 Some slides from the event have been posted here: zenodo.org/communities/... And some of the resources and topics that came up 👇 #AcademicPublishing #NightshiftEditor #PeerReview #ResearchIntegrity

Had the most beautiful, chaotic, fun, inspiring, & rejuvenating time at the Open Science Retreat at the Center for Alternative Technology in Wales this week 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿✨ My group created a map of Opentopia inspired by some of the different ways that people come to find and become interested in open science 🤍

Want to get involved? Please do! Got questions? Reply here (or ping one of us a message!) We're working here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1WASJvGs0nUsNOaRo64fERyKw0tvfrLMmL7sdAQ4eT6A/mobilepresent#slide=id.g3d3624fceb9_0_298

Before the main #OSR26UK retreat begins, our group is on the go! The hackathon kicks off this morning with a dedicated group of open science practitioners who arrived a day early to engage in meaningful conversations and collaborate extensively to find solutions. Follow along today with #OSR26UK

Thanks so much to today's participants! Today we: - added more resources and more disciplines - turned it from a pdf into a database - created a mockup of how that database could be pulled and displayed on a webpage - AND someone made a zine! So excited for the rest of the retreat! 🌟 #OSR26UK

I echo Melissa that working in COS’s metascience team was transformational for me, in all the ways she describes so eloquently, but also personally. The team was so kind, helpful, and fun to work with, it set the bar very high. And starting my nonbinary journey was easy in such a queer team 🤍

🧵1/ Our first meta-science paper (with 350+ coauthors) is published today in Nature. It presents one of the largest-ever reproducibility projects in economics & political science. Here’s what we found 👇

Today, the SCORE program releases its primary results! 865 researchers examined research credibility across the social and behavioral sciences, publishing three papers in Nature + five preprints. 📑 Explore the papers: www.nature.com/colle... ℹ️ Read more about SCORE: www.cos.io/score

My new piece "Reproducibility: how to strengthen a weak foundation" is out today @nature.com! 🎉 How reproducible is research in the social & behavioural sciences? A new study by Miske et al. assessed 600 papers across 62 journals: the results are sobering. 📄 doi.org/10.1038/d415... 📄 rdcu.be/fbcq5

I'm at a bit of a loss of what to say to summarise what being a part of this monumental effort was like. It's strange to remember all the tiny parts and think that they were part of something so big when put together. Feeling very grateful to have worked with so many amazing collaborators 🤍

Don't miss out on new replications with the Zotero Replication Checker! This is the current set of >1.6K studies in the FORRT Library of Replication Attempts (#FLoRA). Many of them belong to large-scale projects and are not even cited in the final report, so how to keep track of them?

Moral psychology flourishes because of our variation in moral values both within and across cultures. I'm happy to see that our registered report protocol for developing and validating the MFQ-2 in German populations is out now! Next up: Data collection and analysis ⚖️ 💻
