Over the coming days, three independent teams (@sharectd.bsky.social PhD students + clinical & statistical experts) will each conduct their own IPD meta-analysis to answer the same research question. 👉 Can esketamine reduce suicidality?

Recognising and rewarding of open science in HR-policy www.openscience.nl/en/recognisi... This post discusses efforts Dutch institutions are making to strengthen the way they recognize and reward open science. I like the 'Room for every PhD Candidate' initiative at @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social.

I am really trying to figure out what to do with this system. I have been committed to considering ways to improve the peer review process (Go @psych.peercommunityin.org !) and consider long-term strategies, while also trying to manage things in real time and keep the system functional.

Been on multiple search committees For me (personally so YMMV)…I basically dismiss everything that’s labeled *submitted* unless there’s a preprint I can read

Scientific publishing is still organized around bundles built for print. We use music’s shift from albums to streaming to argue why access and unbundling aren’t enough. Shared standards are the missing layer for reusable, trustworthy science. articles.continuousfoundation.org/articles/how...

After last year's successful refresh of the BES Reproducible Code guide (www.britishecologicalsociety.org//wp-content/...), this year we're going to refresh the Data Management guide (www.britishecologicalsociety.org//wp-content/...). Exciting! See below for how to get involved...

📅 Mark your calendars for #SIPS2027! The 2027 SIPS conference, organized in collaboration with the Association for Interdisciplinary Meta-Research and Open Science @aimosinc.bsky.social, will be held in November at the University of Melbourne, Australia. We are looking forward to seeing you there!

"Why Open Research and Responsible Research Assessment Matter and how we can make them happen?". An invite to the #Irish research community to join us in person for the ABOARD capstone event at the Royal Irish Academy in Dublin, on March 27. Register now 👉 app.oxfordabstracts.com/register/eve...

We just posted some helpful tips on searching for preprints on psyarxiv: blog.psyarxiv.com/2026/01/27/h... Truncation and fuzzy matching should be especially helpful for lit reviews. Keep posting your preprints to psyarxiv ❤️

📚 On this International Day of Education, we’re excited to share that DORA is launching an introductory course on Responsible Research Assessment in February 2026! An online, self-paced course on the basics of RRA, open to all career stages. Watch this space! 🧐

It's only a week away to the TCC Africa Webinar "Reframing University Rankings: Visibility, Open Science & Global South Leadership." Our PM Giovanna Lima will share about the interplay between responsible assessment and rankings. You can register at us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

We go around the room with 5 questions. 1) What did you like about the paper? 2) What did you learn? 3) What would you like to understand better? 4) What would you like to see to improve the paper? 5) What ideas did this spark for your research?

Earlier this week, a #policy workshop was held at EMBO with members of our scientific community to reflect on how #research and researchers are assessed across our funding schemes. This workshop is part of EMBO’s commitment to DORA, CoARA#policy#researchnd to advancing #ResponsibleResearchAssessment. 🧪

10/🧵 If you’re interested in: - using RegCheck, - stress-testing it, - identifying bugs, - or formally evaluating its performance, I’m very happy to talk. App: regcheck.app Preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2601.13330 Code: github.com/JamieCummins...

7/🧵 All of this and more is detailed in our new preprint, also available today. You can read all about RegCheck here, including our ongoing work to comprehensively evaluate its performance. w/ @bethclarke.bsky.social @ianhussey.mmmdata.io and @malte.the100.ci arxiv.org/abs/2601.13330

6/🧵 I have also added integration with the ClinicalTrials.gov API. You can now provide a ClinicalTrials.gov identifier and RegCheck will automatically retrieve the registration.

👀In a few weeks' time we'll be launching our NEW catalogue of open research practices in the arts, humanities and qualitative social sciences - ~30 open research practices across AHSS disciplines that we've documented so far, with detailed descriptions, examples and resources.

After a period of inactivity, we are reactivating this account as a primary channel for connecting with the research community. We'll be sharing new outputs, our latest guidance, and commentary on all things research integrity. Give us a follow and join the conversation💬

Please share: Pew Research Center will provide $3,000 each for 19 new papers using our recent global datasets. We encourage reuse of our Pew-Templeton Global Religious Futures data! https://www.pewresearch.org/2026/01/16/seeking-research-using-recent-pew-templeton-global-religious-futures-datasets/

Funders - ever wondered what it might look like to implement the TOP guidelines? Here, COS shows how they've done so with the updated (2025) guidelines in their own work as a pass-through funder. Take aways? TOP is a modular, customizable framework that can be tweaked for a variety of settings.

Crossref Grant IDs can now be included across all record types, helping create clearer, more reliable links between funding and research outputs. https://doi.org/10.64000/x7d4h-x3r11

Great opportunity for an open science data archivist in the DC area! I was able to work with this team in 2024 through some contract work, and I highly recommend them. Please share.

I don't know enough to have my own view on this paper or response, but to me this is science social media at its best: doing post publication peer review of papers that make big claims. Bravo @alexanderhuth.bsky.social

Adversarial collaborations are one way to do this, but we should see it as part of a new and better way of doing science that I talk about in this article. We should judge scientific results by the degree of thorough and transparent scrutiny they have received. thesamovar.github.io/zavarka/tran...

Extremely excited & proud to share our new preprint - we provide for the first time a single cell map of the mouse brain across sex, the estrous cycle, and peripartum! Data are 🔥 👇 "Single-cell map of the female brain across reproductive transitions" www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Happy arxiv:2601 to all who celebrate! 😉🎉🔬 We are so thankful for everyone who uses arXiv everyday to share and discover new research. Happy new year to all - here's hoping for a 2026 full of #openaccess science & lots of new discoveries.

“At LSA, we explicitly welcome negative data and null results, & we include it online in the journal’s policy about submitting. This was baked into the founding of our journal; we think it’s a matter of scientific integrity, of reducing wasted research efforts, & of lowering barriers to publication”

I've used Lavaan almost every (work)day for 15 years, but this open source labour of love has never received proper institutional support.
