Among 134 higher-impact journals, 36 required, 98 recommended #datasharing. Most studies intended to share data for purposes and by mechanisms at the discretion of and subject to approval by the PI, without supporting documents or specified timeframes

When asked what do you do if an author doesn't adhere to your policy Robert Thibault indicates "we provide annual summary of their open science activities: here is what you could have done, and here is what you have done". It works! #openscience #PRC10

Ethical review boards in Sweden handled 20,440 applications 2021-23, mostly amendments, primarily from health care systems (51%), universities (42%), & corporations (3%). COVID-19 studies had expedited processing times (median t to decision, 51 vs 63d; P < .001). @stockholm-uni.bsky.social @ki.se

In 2014-23 China experienced rapid growth in RCTs, surpassing Japan & the US. Neoplastic, CV, metabolic disease accounted for the largest percentages, each representing ~15-25% of all registered trials. In the US, mental health trials increased, reflecting growing interest in the area.

@asapresearch.parkinsonsroadmap.org’s #OpenScience policy and compliance workflow — requiring grantees to post preprints, deposit research outputs, unambiguously i.d. research inputs — led to increases in all outcomes and activities. peerreviewcongress.o...

RT: Results: 102 publications in last year. Most manuscripts do good job in sharing data, but large increase in sharing from manuscript stage to publication. Research record should not just include vetted claim, but stands upon peer review, analysis, raw data, procedures, and lab materials. #PRC10

Are you an author who has gone through a journal peer review process but hasn’t done any peer review? I would like to know what do you think about peer review quality in a 1- hour online interview session. DM me if you’re willing to share #peerreview#quality

Choke in your web of lies, Duo.

In the science communication session, one speaker pointed out that 30% of the public did not know the Moon was smaller than the Earth, but they still support science. #SSP2025 So many academics don't appreciate or think that public science communication is a worthwhile effort, particularly in hiring

I have been editor for many Registered Reports and many traditional articles, and it is truly amazing how null results suddenly appear all over the place in Registered Reports. Almost as if there is some problem with our traditional approach. Someone should look into that.

Day 3 at #easeconference. My colleague @morebrains.coop, @alicemeadows.bsky.social giving the keynote on author identity in the age of misinformation

Iryna Izarova of University of Ukraine is presenting on the challenges of conducting scientific publishing in an occupied country. Appropriation of research and publications robs countries of their intellectual identity and violates academic freedom. #easeconference

Really important points by Sofie Wennström, speaking about @thinkchecksub.bsky.social at #easeconference. In the discussion about author behaviour when it comes to predatory journals, poor university / employer support and training isn't talked about enough

Very much on the theme of our conference this week. #EASEoslo

I’m thinking of putting a working group proposal together for NISO to standardize the terminology @nicolinevdl.bsky.social @nisoinfo.bsky.social

Malinformation is information based on fact that is intended to do harm. Phishing is an example of malinformation, as is mislabelling a photo with the wrong time, place, or subject to fuel a false narrative. #easeconference

80% of disinformation on social media is shared by 0.05% of users. #easeconference

Not every study needs to have a power analysis, but every study needs a sample size justification. I discuss 6 approaches, and 6 ways to think about which effect sizes are of interest in the study you are planning. online.ucpress.edu/collabra/art...

« A note was later added to say Rolain “had no involvement” in the article’s peer review. » Okay. But prove to me that there was a peer review with only one day between submission and acceptance. When they were asked for the peer review report, they did not respond 🤷🏻‍♀️

Those with common European names won’t get my joy of spotting my Persian name on a Dutch children book 😌 credit goes to my daughter who saw the book and made this picture 🥰

As often happens, @elife.bsky.social new model is again described as not being an accept-reject one. It is,but the decision is made upstream, by editors. From the author guide: “There is no accept/reject decision after #peerreview”, but the last 3 words are rarely used. Two very different scenarios.

The small nation of Vanuatu put the entire industrialized world on trial this month in The Hague. The case is about climate change. Do countries have a legal as well as a moral obligation to prevent a planetary disaster?

In our recent paper "public engagement with research reproducibility", we explain, with a simple example -cooking meringue Xmas trees- "what research reproducibility means". A very fun 🧵 about science... plos.io/49z4ZQy

majour discussion point at WCRI 2024 was that researchers from Africa don't trust sharing their data openly because they don't seem to get the recognition for it. Specifically when the research community of the global north re-useses their data without citing/acknowoledgment #Ethics #OpenScience
