Huge congratulations to @jabyrnesci.bsky.social for receiving the David Vaux award! I feel very lucky to be on a team led by such an amazing and accomplished woman

Extremely thrilled to congratulate @jabyrnesci.bsky.social on achieving this prestigious award. She has been an amazing champion and role model in pursuing research integrity and ensuring the scientific literature remains #reliable and #trustworthy!!! www.science.org.au/news-and-eve...

Great to see @jabyrnesci.bsky.social 's work being recognised: www.science.org.au/news-and-eve...

Great new article by @jabyrnesci.bsky.social and Adrian Barnett comparing problematic research articles to broken laboratory equipment. A faulty freezer would be flagged immediately, yet it can take years to retract fatally flawed studies. How can we incentivise correction?

#MetaROR launch at #AIMOS2024 @aimosinc.bsky.social @rorinstitute.bsky.social @jameswilsdon.bsky.social #metascience It's the content that counts!

Day 2 of COPE's #PublicationIntegrityWeek 🚨started with a robust discussion about role of all stakeholders in ensuring integrity. Interesting points about educating researchers & changing incentives, but at times, speakers seemed to blame each other. All stakeholders need to take responsibility!

A fantastic and very insightful plenary by @barbobrien.bsky.social at #AIMOS2024! Whether it's wrongful convictions or academia, common obstacles to preventing, detecting, and correcting errors remain. #metaresearch

Excited to be in Canberra for AIMOS 24 agbarnett.github.io/aimos.confer... I gave a talk this morning on ‘where next for metascience?’ — slides online here: rori.figshare.com/articles/pre... Thanks to Adrian Barnett & all at @aimosinc.bsky.social for the opportunity to join you 🙏🏻

#AIMOS2024 | Join us for the launch of MetaROR: A new peer review platform for metaresearch

A great plenary at #AIMOS2024 on the state of #metascience, and how it has expanded and diversified over the past 5 years. An exciting place to work in:)

James Wilson’s plenary: 1. I prefer “metaresearch” to “metascience”. Better describes full range of subject matter. 2. Discipline is older than a century! Francesco Redi in the 17thC was obsessed with replicating rather than creating new experiments. 3. Good joke about parking spaces. #AIMOS2024

Well, my first post here and got the science emoji wrong... trying again 🧪

Larry is the world’s most highly cited #cat (132 #citations vs Willard’s 107). These were entirely fabricated, by Reese Richardson and Nick Wise. The duo wanted to show how shady companies exploit #GoogleScholar to sell fake #metrics #scholarypublishing #academia reeserichardson.blog/2024/07/18/e...

A Hungarian PhD student is invited to collaborate on papers whilst at a conference, then it all gets out of hand. An impressive article by Gábor Stöckert building on my recent investigation into an Iraqi papermill. telex.hu/komplex/2024...

IT'S TIME: United2Act is moving to do something about the paper mill problem www.nature.com/articles/d41... "“Paper milling isn’t an operation, it isn’t an organization: it’s a culture,” says data scientist Adam Day, who ... has developed a detection tool called The Papermill Alarm."

Excited to announce my very first paper is out now as preprint on PsyArXiv! osf.io/preprints/ps... 
Huge thanks to everyone involved! @simine.com, @bethclarke.bsky.social , Nicholas Moodie, Sarah Schiavone, Robert Thibault, & @tomhardwicke.bsky.social (1/4)
