SCORE, a collaboration of 865 researchers, is now released as three papers in Nature, six preprints, and a lot of data (cos.io/score/). SCORE examined repeatability of findings from the social-behavioral sciences and tested whether human and automated methods could predict replicability.

A massive seven-year project exploring 3,900 social-science papers has ended with a disturbing finding go.nature.com/4bZ9k0W

Today, the SCORE program releases its primary results! 865 researchers examined research credibility across the social and behavioral sciences, publishing three papers in Nature + five preprints. 📑 Explore the papers: www.nature.com/colle... ℹ️ Read more about SCORE: www.cos.io/score

I wrote today about a big study on replication--and why it's so hard to know if a study will hold up or not. Gift link: nyti.ms/4sNu3MF

🧵1/ Our first meta-science paper (with 350+ coauthors) is published today in Nature. It presents one of the largest-ever reproducibility projects in economics & political science. Here’s what we found 👇

Launched in 2023, Imaging Neuroscience is now firmly established, with full indexing (PubMed, etc.) and 700 papers to date. We're very happy to announce that we are able to reduce the APC to $1400. Huge thanks to all authors, reviewers, editorial team+board, and MIT Press.

Great article, and I love some of the responses from leading thinkers. Nicole and @theamygdaloid.bsky.social in particular point out the importance of studying the phenomenon of conscious feelings as directly as possible.

Just gave my student the following writing advice, and I'm pretty proud of it: please never use "utilize", it's not useful.

At long last, we submitted our 2 experiment study failing to find EEG evidence that primary motor cortex is modulated by high-groove music. Wish us luck in peer review! Led by Samantha O’Connell.

Fascinating figure at the cogsci biz meeting this morning: because CSS owns their two journals (Cognitive Science and topiCS), they get a ton of revenue from the publisher, on the order of a half mil per year This is so much money that they can run huge conferences at a loss, in perpetuity
