Should we use error checking tools like Statcheck and GRIM to automatically check for errors in studies in meta-analyses? I wrote a blog post with some insights from a hackathon where we scrutinized this idea. metaresearch.nl/blog/2026/3/...

Early review after reading two chapters. This quality and accessibility of the writing is amazing. Complex topics communicated clearly for a range of audiences. So far—quite a good and useful read.

Has transparency improved in clinical psychology? A repeated cross-sectional study (2012, 2018, 2024): https://osf.io/jn435

If anyone is interested in a journal leadership position, there is a call for editor-in-chief for the Journal of Open Psychology Data: openpsychologydata.metajnl.com/announcements. I'm on the board, so I'm happy to chat to anyone or put your in touch with others!

Has transparency improved in clinical psychology? New cross sectional study from us (Bianca Kotoulas, Justine Blackwell & me). Adoption of transparent research practices has increased between 2012, 2018, & 2024, but aside from coi and funding disclosures, they remain uncommon osf.io/preprints/ps...

The FORRT Library of Reproduction and Replication Attempts (FLoRA) will be the basis of upcoming tools and projects that help replications and reproductions become a natural and difficult to ignore part of research. It is already implemented in our FLoRA Annotator: forrt.org/annotator/

Where have all the comments gone? For decades, the American Economic Review regularly published formal comments — papers that replicate, reassess, or challenge earlier AER articles. In our latest blog post, we show: they’ve nearly disappeared.

Our updated strategic plan! The major change (improvement?!) is focus. COS does many things. My insistence that they all fit together in my head was apparently insufficient. Now, we are trying to improve clarity, accountability, and effectiveness by aligning activities on a true north objective.

I have not seen this mentioned here, but this is a great example of how the research world has dramatically changed underneath of us and if you're not keeping up you're going to be left behind quickly: yiqingxu.org/papers/2026_...

Since 2020, TOP Factor has helped researchers understand how journals support open practices. On March 16, 2026, COS will be sunsetting the tool. Read more about what prompted the decision, what we've learned, and the future of open and transparent policymaking: www.cos.io/blog/sunsett...

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.

Does it make sense to preregister simulation studies? This question has sparked a lot of debate. ▶️We* work through the why, when, and how ▶️We discuss different phases of methodological research to clarify where preregistration might (or might not) add value 📝 Preprint: doi.org/10.31234/osf...

This headline number has generated a lot of attention, but does not account for the classifier's accuracy. @jamiecummins.bsky.social and I wrote a short commentary showing that, assuming a paper mill base rate of 10%, 30% of the flagged papers are false positives. At a base rate of 5%, 50% are FPs.

Our new paper, with colleagues from the Strategic Council of the National Academies, offers an integrative framework of the several components that contribute to making research findings trustworthy including ethics, methodology, transparency, inclusion, assessment, etc www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Heliyon has published fewer papers and ramped up its retractions since a major indexing service put the journal on hold and the publisher launched an audit of all papers published in the journal since its launch in 2016.
