Looking forward to this next week! During waking hours for people in Europe, Africa, & the Americas. And the Middle East. And parts of Asia. Really almost everywhere except Eastern Asia & Australia/NZ. Link to register: univ-cotedazur.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

“The articles in AMPPS offer, month in and month out, the invitation to practice aligning your values, intentions, and actions to do less scientific harm and reach for the methodological ceiling” Grateful to @dsbarra.bsky.social for continuing what @profsimons.bsky.social & co started at AMPPS!

Job posting alert! Open Science Specialist at the University of Calgary (in Canada!) #job #OpenScience careers.ucalgary.ca/jobs/1704502...

Dear fans of Hugo the dog, Hugo passed away peacefully on Monday, after a wonderful last few days doing his favorite things: road-tripping, going to the beach, and getting lots and lots of pats. He was full of love and goofiness until the end.

If you’re an author, reviewer, or editor and want to learn about Registered Reports from one of the best editors around, go to this webinar! Nov 19th at 8am Pacific US, 11am Eastern US, 5pm Central Europe (3am Nov 20th for the diehard Australians)

📣 Save the date for the 13th PCI webinar on December 1st, 2025, at 4 PM CET!! Simine Vazire (University of Melbourne, Australia) will present "Recognizing and responding to a replication crisis: Lessons from Psychology". For more details and registration, visit: buff.ly/wZNoD2v

OpenNeuro @openneuro.bsky.social just hit a huge milestone: 1500 datasets! Congrats to the team on making this project so successful over the last 7 years.

My blog has moved! It’s now at sometimesimwrongblog.wordpress.com If you have links to posts in your syllabus, let me know if you have any trouble finding the corresponding post!

Very lucky to have @jamiecummins.bsky.social as a STAR editor at Psych Science, helping us navigate these kinds of issues. This is such important work.

Another chapter in the book of “Sometimes There’s Nothing There & Using Fancy Stats to Find Something Can Be a Bad Idea” Do you wish we could understand causality by finding lagged effects in longitudinal data? Bad news - lagged effects are probably rare, & even the RI-CLPM is an ill-suited test.

Excited to finally have my first paper officially published! "How Do Psychology Journals Handle Postpublication Critique?" is now online with AMPPS. Huge thanks to my supervisors @tomhardwicke.bsky.social and @simine.com and co-authors @bethclarke.bsky.social, N Moodie, S Schiavone, and R Thibault ☺️

We speak to @simine.com, @wchiggins.bsky.social and Laura Conlon about MetaMelb. This lab studies what is essentially ‘the psychology of psychology research’ – examining practices and norms across psychology. Read it here: go.unimelb.edu.au/753p

If I’m understanding right, Aaron Clauset at Peer Review Congress showing that the strongest correlate of peer review outcomes at Science and Science Advances is the prestige of authors’ institutions. Also pretty big association with author geography, not much with author gender. #PRC10

At the Peer Review Congress #PRC10, @maclomaclee.bsky.social talks about flaws in meta-research. Often only points out problems, doesn’t test solutions, & often uses suboptimal methods (observational design, convenience samples). Great points, but imo, pointing out problems can be big contribution.

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

A meta-perspective by Malcolm Macleod on the presentations at #PRC10. Are we going for low hanging fruit too much in research on peer review / publication?

PsyArXiv is now down to only ~40% of the backlog we started with, thanks to our amazing moderators 🎉 To all mods: thank you so much for your hard work! Did one of your preprints get approved recently? Help us show our thanks by liking and sharing this post :) #PsyArXiv #PsychSciSky

Michael was my undergraduate thesis advisor. I have been moved to write some reflections on his life, and my time with him open.substack.com/pub/alexholc... #visionScience A hashtag seems gauche, but Michael should be more widely known - he didn't attend conferences much.

Yikes. My blog is on Typepad. I have one month to rescue it. Any tips on what I should do? I’d like to keep it active (not just back it up, but host it somewhere else in case I ever get around to writing more posts). I’d love recommendations, esp ones that require little/no technical skills 😂

A letter to the editor from @alexh.bsky.social et al. about an error in a published paper led to retraction. Great to see the record corrected, but also raises tricky issues about what the right form of correction is, how to credit the error detectors, and how to reduce future chances of same error.

We are in awe of our community's response -- over 300 people have volunteered to moderate PsyArXiv! We’ve already cleared 13% of the backlog and expect to make even faster progress next week. Thank you for your patience as we work through this, and special thanks to our volunteers! 🎉 #PsychSciSky

Want to help moderate preprints on PsyArXiv? We're hosting a training tomorrow morning. Register here: us06web.zoom.us/j/8114764450... More trainings are coming as well! Already registered using the other form? Check your spam folder -- some of our email invitations are going to spam. #PsychSciSky

Looking forward to listening to this episode of the @psychunimelb.bsky.social podcast, with Luke Smillie!

I know it’s gauche to share good news on here, but our university’s IRB (ethics office) just declared that low risk applications will no longer be reviewed by 4 people & then go to a committee. They’ll be reviewed by 1 person. I almost can’t believe a change this positive is possible in this world.

We stopped at the giant ram on our roadtrip and Hugo insisted we take a picture.

Excellent news! "PLOS Biology will formally consider meta-research articles that are peer-reviewed on the MetaROR platform, collaborating with RoRI and AIMOS to improve the transparency of peer review in the field of meta-research." theplosblog.plos.org/2025/08/plos...

"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...

oh wow! lovely to see people engaging with my research 😃 www.bps.org.uk/research-dig...

We are very pleased to announce the 2025 Commendations for the Society for the Improvement of Psychological Science! Join us in celebrating the exceptional projects that have revolutionized the field of psychological science. buff.ly/rzTeLYL

Come and join us at the University of Sydney School of Psychology! 🦘 Senior Lecturer / Associate Professor position usyd.wd105.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/USYD_E...

Thrilled to announce @simine.com as our plenary presenter at the 2025 SORTEE Conference. Prof. Simine Vazire will give a talk titled ‘Journal Prestige Can and Should be Earned’. More info: sortee.org/upcoming/ #SORTEE2025

We're delighted to be part of this new Registered Reports funding partnership - or RRFP - with @improvingpsych.org! RRFPs boost the efficiency of RRs by integrating grant review and Stage 1 review. Authors submit before they have funding & then receive Stage 1 acceptance + funding at the same time

The University of Sydney is recruiting senior and mid-career academics "within the top 5–10% of academics in their field, with a strong track record and availability to relocate to Australia within 6-months". If you're a psychologist/neuroscientist and are interested, get in touch with me soon.

👋 Hello Bluesky! We’re the Melbourne School of Psychological Sciences, from #UniMelb. We'll be sharing updates from our research community, highlighting staff & student achievements, and connecting with those advancing psychological science across disciplines. We can't wait to join the conversation!

Tomorrow I’m on a panel about pré-enregistrement, in French. I speak French to my mom and/or dad and/or brother every week, but somehow that has not prepared me for this situation. Help!

Experimentology is out today!!! A group of us wrote a free online textbook for experimental methods, available at experimentology.io - the idea was to integrate open science into all aspects of the experimental workflow from planning to design, analysis, and writing.

So nice to see the results of a @improvingpsych.org hackathon matured to a paper! Jane Herbert presents a Bestiary of Questionable Research Practices in Psychology osf.io/preprints/ps... #MetaScience2025

Talk by @tomhardwicke.bsky.social presenting on this paper: scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=e... One takeaway: sometimes we can’t share data/code/materials, but we should state why they’re not shared. #metascience2025

I'll be giving an unconference session at #MetaScience today at 14:00 on Papercheck. It will be a workshop on using and creating modules to detect (and correct) scientific practice and reporting. Come along if you're interested in how to use or contribute. No coding expertise required beyond using R

Congratulations to @bethclarke.bsky.social, who submitted her PhD thesis yesterday!! It’s been such a privilege to be with her on her amazing journey - she’s done so many great things already! Look out world, she’s going to shine so bright ⭐️✨🌟

If you’re in London and interested in metascience-y things, there’s more going on than just the official conference! Please help spread the word! #metascience2025

PYMS has a new board and it is booming! Don't miss this session in London if you are an early career meta-scientist (or are interested in meta-science careers)!

Ger Post presenting on his PhD research, on using repliCATS to teach critical thinking to first semester intro psych undergraduate students (in a class of 1800 students!) #SIPS2025

New blog post! Let's say you've measured two variables repeatedly and want to investigate how one affects the other over time. Here are some recommendations for how to do that well. www.the100.ci/2025/06/25/r...

It happened again! #SIPS2025 and #SIPS2025 were close in time and space! In 2019 it was Leiden v. Rotterdam, this year Krakow v. Budapest. And from this blog post I learned we have similar concerns! The other SIPS is going to Sydney in 2027, just saying… bleaseondrbot.substack.com/p/reflection...

If, like me, you don’t know much about Iran or its nuclear program, this is a good read: www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...
