Huge thanks to my supervisors @tomhardwicke.bsky.social and @simine.com and co-authors @bethclarke.bsky.social, N Moodie, S Schiavone, and R Thibault ☺️

📣 Hot off the press at #ProcB! 🔍 Our study checked data/code-sharing policies in 275 eco/evo journals and compliance in Proc B (n=2,340) & Ecology Letters (n=571). Policies exist, but clarity and strictness vary, affecting reproducibility. 🔗 doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

🎁 A gift for you for #PeerReviewWeek! 🎁 I downloaded >200K peer review reports and author responses for >30K articles in four BMC journals (Cancer, Gastroenterology, Medical Genomics and Medicine). These archives are now publicly available on Zenodo. Go nuts! reeserichardson.blog/2025/09/15/t...

Obvious preregistered hypothesis: soon most all psych science will involve AI in some form. You'll get ahead of the curve with this paper is about "Transformer Architecture" (also a good band name) and how embeddings operate within a NLP workflow. Really nice! journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

We are about a month away from releasing a complete refresh of the OSF user interface. The team has been working on this for a very long time, and we are very excited to be able to share it soon. A preview picture:

SV: The time has come to ask more of journals. Journals should state their goals, give us info to evaluate, catch and correct errors, biases, corruption. Nullius in Verba. Journals can do more: publish peer review history, require open data, declare CoI, policy for appeals, conduct audits. #PRC10

How should the behavioral sciences be mainstreamed into public health? How would we know if this goal is achieved? With the WHO Behavioural Insights Unit, my team has been working on these questions. Curious what we came up with? Check out the public consultation below www.who.int/news-room/ar...

How do the discussion sections of paper mill articles in cancer research differ from similar literature? Drop by my poster to hear me over explain this graph in person today and tomorrow ✨ @peerreviewcongress.bsky.social #PRC10

It's been great to have @thomvolker.bsky.social create a self-paced tutorial on synthetic data for the @lmu-osc.bsky.social! It is currently open for feedback by the community! Your contributions will be aknowledged and the tutorial will be free to reuse with attribution. #rstats #OpenScience

#RetractoBot auto-emails authors when papers they've cited are retracted. An RCT comparing it vs no notice showed no diffs in 1y citations @bengoldacre.bsky.social @ndevito1.bsky.social @bennettoxford.bsky.social @ox.ac.uk @oxprimarycare.bsky.social www.retracted.net/#RetractoBotcc: @retractionwatch.com

In a non-randomized comparison of published (open) vs unpublished #PeerReview from 233 @ElsevierNews @SpringerNature journals 2016-2021, open reviews were longer (median 22 vs 17 sentences) & had higher information scores (0.52 vs 0.46) @mariomalicki.bsky.social @squazzoni.bsky.social #OpenScience

Findings from Mario's study: - Open reviews include more sentences, mainly involving suggestions and solutions indicating more constructive reviews - Open reviews had higher information content scores His explanation: There is more accountability in an open system #PRC10

At the FORRT Replication Hub, our mission is to support researchers who want to replicate previous findings. We have now published a big new component with which we want to fulfill this mission: An open access handbook for reproduction and replication studies: forrt.org/replication_...

"I have been scammed in my qualitative research" https://researchintegrityjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s41073-025-00179-7 Bandiera et al (2025) report fraudulent research participants using AI tools to pretend to be part of the relevant study population

📚 Preregistration in Scientific Research: A Synthesis of Perspectives www.researchgate.net/publication/... “This review synthesizes the discourse surrounding preregistration into four perspectives: (1) Idealist, (2) Pragmatist, (3) Skeptic, and (4) Innovator.”

I was thrilled to be invited to contribute to a forthcoming special issue for The Psychologist magazine called "Psychology needs a ... revolution". I wrote about AI and its use in psychology: particularly how we can learn lessons from the past to avoid repeating old mistakes. @psychmag.bsky.social

On Prolific, "we estimate that about 34% of online study participants use LLMs to answer open-ended questions atleast some of the time..." Seems like a very timely paper for behavioural scientists using online samples: osf.io/preprints/so... ; We really need more papers on this issue

🚀 New study out! Together with @volkswagenstiftung.de, we’ve tested distributed peer review - a model where applicants also act as reviewers - to see how it compares with conventional panel review: researchonresearch.org/democratisin...

Thanks to our amazing moderators working on this 24/7, we are now 50% done with the PsyArXiv backlog! 🎉 For all our PsyArXiv users, thank you for your patience. If you would like to help us, here are some tips to help your next preprint sail through moderation: #PsychSciSky

"Understanding different types of review articles: A primer for early career researchers." By Ghosh & Choudhury (2025) Open Access: dx.doi.org/10.4103/indi... #AcademicSky #PhDSky #Methodology

📣 Save the date for the 12th PCI webinar on September 18, 2025, at 4 PM CET!! Dorothy Bishop (@deevybee.bsky.social) will present "Editors matter: How negligent publishers subvert quality control in scientific publishing ". For more details and registration, visit:

The most thoughtful challenges to preregistration come from Mark’s analyses. I often do not agree with his arguments but he pokes at key issues to make me think harder about my position and why we differ.

The full program for the PMGS Meta Research Symposium 2025 is online: docs.google.com/document/d/1... If you are interested in causal inference, systematic review, hypothesis testing, and preregistration, join is October 17th in Eindhoven! Attendance is free!

#EEGManyLabs website is now live: eegmanylabs.org A home for our global effort to test the replicability of influential EEG findings, share resources, improve methods in cognitive neuroscience, and grow an open, connected community.

Due to a recent influx of problematic submissions, PsyArXiv has switched to pre-moderating its content. If your submitted preprint had not yet been approved, it will be temporarily inaccessible to the public (you can still view your preprint when logged into your OSF account). #PsychSciSky

thrilled that our guides for #OpenScience in developing countries is now published in AMPPS of @psychscience.bsky.social: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... Please see the thread for details

OpenAI recently released GPT-5, and its smaller derivatives, GPT-5-mini and GPT-5-nano. On paper, GPT-5-nano is much cheaper than GPT-5-mini: $0.40 per million output tokens for nano vs. $2 per million for mini. But behind the scenes, nano is secretly costing the user almost as much as mini. 🧵

📣 The SORTEE Guidelines for Data & Code Quality Control in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology are out! 🔗 doi.org/10.32942/X24... Brilliantly led by @joelpick.bsky.social & @eivimeycook.bsky.social, with input from 24 amazing data editors Personally, I learned a ton contributing to this project 🙌 💻

PsyArXiv is seeking new moderators to help combat an increase in AI submissions! If you've ever posted a preprint to PsyArXiv, please consider joining. Minimum commitment 1h/month, there's a training session this Monday @ 1pm ET. More info here: forms.gle/9LB1rEtxHAeZ... #PsychSciSky

🧠🧠🧠 PsyArXiv needs you! Please sign up to join our moderator team. First cohort is getting trained on next Monday, with more trainings to come. Easy way to give back to this crucial community resource. Students, postdocs, faculty, all welcome - come one and all!

"Preregistration" lumps three distinct practices into one: - Study registration - Protocol - Analysis plans (SAPs) To advance open science, it's critical that we distinguish them. 🌟 🌟 Now in-press paper from Evan Mayo-Wilson, @seangrant.bsky.social, David Moher, me: osf.io/preprints/me...
