i’m pleased to have found this old post by Andrew Gelman, who is more perceptive about replications than anyone else I know statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2013/12/17/r...

#Linguistics at the University of Georgia is hiring a tenure-track faculty member in #phonetics and #phonology. Spread the word and let me know if you have questions! linguistlist.org/issues/36/31...

#Replication Research, a new diamond #open-access #journal, is now accepting submissions! Check it out www.uni-muenster.de/Ejournals/in...

Comparing early-stage #L2 processing of derived and inflected words: a conceptual #replication of Jacob et al. (2018) with Chinese learners of L2 English (Wu & Fricke, 2025) doi.org/10.1017/S027...

if you're on the academic job market: check out the most recent episode of @quantitude.bsky.social, about The Job Talk - it's a great discussion of this kinda niche presentation genre & all it needs to accomplish (preview: it's not just about presenting all your research/making you look smart)

ReplicationResearch.org is now open for submissions! Submit replications and reproductions from many different fields, as well as conceptual contributions. With diamond OA, open and citable peer review reports, and reproducibility checks, we push the boundaries of open and fair publishing.

Should you do a replication (same data) or reproduction (different data)? Reproduction - if possible - is much easier and can inform replication attempts. Even without data, reproducibility can be assessed (eg via preregistrations). Here is our handbook's decision tree: forrt.org/replication_...

The replication studies are not an optional extra – they are an essential part of the methodological procedure we use to make scientific claims. That is also why replications should be done way more often than they are. For more, see lakens.github.io/statistical_... 4/end

Applied #Linguistics Press is launching a new series titled: #Syllabi in Applied Linguistics. This #OA series collects and overviews syllabus descriptions for different staple courses in applied linguistics and #language #teaching. More here: www.appliedlinguisticspress.org/home/series/...

Open access + OASIS plain-language summaries = more views, downloads & citations — a practical path to more inclusive, impactful research! doi.org/10.1515/appl...

🏆 #SSLA is ranked #1 in the Language and Linguistics category of Google Scholar's 2025 metrics. Congratulations to all authors, reviewers, and the editorial team for making the journal what is it today! Learn more: cup.org/4opRiKN

Great to see this initiative, a call for researchers, educators, and practitioners in second #language (#L2) studies to review a set of ethics and accountability guidelines for #qualitative research #ResearchMethods #lingsky #langsky

New article in FLA: "Does order of instruction matter? A language program intervention for preterite-imperfect learning." TL;DR for Spanish teachers: changing the order of teaching the preterite-imperfect did NOT make a difference for students' mastery of the tenses. doi.org/10.1111/flan...

Imagine if all the money academics pour into OA fees at for-profit publishing corporations went instead to academic societies, which exist to support science; or to university presses, which exist to support academia

Very happy that our #replication study of Ellis and Sagarra (2010), a seminal study in the field, is now published! Revisiting #Blocking Effects in Second #Language #Learning: A Close Replication of Ellis and Sagarra (2010b) doi.org/10.1111/lang...
