Happy to see our paper on p-hacking discussed in @nulliusinverba.bsky.social !

London calling! All psyched to give a talk at the Open Research Summer School at @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social tomorrow!

PSA future employers of my students: Asking me in your reference form whether my student is "loyal and discreet" (not applying for the MoD here) and "prone to continual days off sick" is not a good look! 🤯🤯I AM SO MAD RIGHT NOW! 🤯🤯

Anyone else having trouble with the OSF today? Tried uploading some files today and now I keep getting internal server errors... #openscience @cos.io

Looking forward to presenting at the King's Open Research Summer School and meeting the London Open Science crowd! Thanks @samwestwood.bsky.social for the invitation!

Consider supporting my brilliant Master student Carys Hoggan (not on Bluesky) by taking part in her study on how research results may influence our decision-making!

Please spread the word! Psych Science is recruiting volunteers to help conduct computational reproducibility checks. If you have experience writing reproducible analysis scripts in psychology, and want to join the team, please apply! www.psychologicalscience.org/publications...

After years of hard work, @hashimsat.bsky.social's big one is out! Huge thanks to co-authors Katharina Wille, Matt Nassar, Radek Cichy, @nicoschuck.bsky.social & Peter Dayan - and to @haukeren.bsky.social for his invaluable support!

Because I have opened a BlueSky window and am procrastinating on reading final papers, let me also share what this spring has been like from my corner of the academic world.

If you'll be at APS2025 in DC next week, I'll be talking about the terrible statistical properties of the p curve procedure in the "Current Issues in Meta-Science" session Saturday, May 24th at 3pm. This will likely be my last US conference in a very long time. A brief summary follows. 1/

Travelling to the UK from Munich Airport, always a joy... After accidentally (!) stamping my partner's passport on a previous trip, today they didn't want to believe me that eVisas exist in the UK. But, thankfully, they believed the random guy next to me who shouted "DOCH" in good German fashion 😒

🎥 We're live! Catch up on the “From R to Python: A Gentle Introduction” session with R-Ladies Rome and Federica Gazzelloni. Explore similarities, differences, and essential Python libraries like Pandas and Sklearn. 📺 Watch now: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVnT... 📚 Resources: Slides and booklet

priorsense 1.1.1, for prior and likelihood sensitivity analysis, is now in CRAN (n-kall.github.io/priorsense/) There is now an easier way to select which priors are power-scaled using the new prior tags feature in brms (2.22.11+), which allows focusing the analysis on specific priors. 1/3

📢 Postdoctoral Research Associate vacancy Exciting opportunity for a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join our new UKRI-funded project on dietary health inequalities @liverpooluni.bsky.social. See below for further details & reach out if any questions. tinyurl.com/mpwbkdub

Psych-DS is (1) spellcheck for your datasets and (2) a pathway to standardizing data in our academic fields that *everyone* can learn. And it's live RIGHT NOW! psych-ds.github.io (This is the announcement post I've been leading up to)

🚩New version of a working paper now available!🚩 "Rounding the (Non)Bayesian Curve: Unraveling the Effects of Rounding Errors in Belief Updating" with Yaroslav Rosokha papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.... A thread 👇👇 #Bayes #TeachBE #EconSky

I'm sad to see that the UvA and other Dutch universities took this decision. Cutting English-language degrees is not going to improve the quality of education of Dutch students and it hurts the academic environment. Feeling with my former colleagues today 😔

Call for collaborators! We are launching the Replicability Project: Health Behavior (RPHB) to replicate a sample of findings relevant to public health, epidemiology, health policy, and behavioral science. Teams receive funding for conducting replication studies. Details: www.cos.io/rphb

Want to make nice graphs with me, starting this summer? I am hiring for two PhD positions at the University of Witten/Herdecke.

Sharing this R resources database with y'all! For the past 4 years, I have been accumulating resources (mainly free ones) for new & advanced #Rlearners in their programming journey. Feel free to share! resourcesdatabase.com #RStats #RResources #learningR #DataScience #Python #R

📢 New R package on CRAN: {owidapi}! Easily pull chart data from @ourworldindata.org into R: fetch data, explore datasets & embed charts in docs & Shiny apps (experimental). Feedback & ideas welcome 🙏

Our group has been hard at work to release a new tool: The Data Rescue Tracker. The tool aims to provide a consolidated overview of who is downloading which dataset from which government websites. Please share! www.datarescueproject.org/data-rescue-...

Investigating fraud and errors in health research is obviously laudable. But we need to maintain high methodological standards. That means scrutinising each others’ work, and calling each other out when we err. There are so many errors in error detection. A few recurring errors:

After my first year as EiC of Collabra: Psychology, I wrote an editorial with my reflections so far. Featured are some observations about submission triage, author geolocation data, and a registered revisions experiment. @collabrapsychology.bsky.social @improvingpsych.org doi.org/10.1525/coll...

How can a company that takes so much money for their product have such a poorly designed, buggy, and undocumented API? So far, I'd always choose SoSciSurvey >> Qualtrics #SoSciSky

I'm against citation-counting as a performance metric, but let's be real, when has being cited not felt like an accomplishment? In other news: I just learned that @nicebread.bsky.social and my p-hacking paper was among the 5 most cited in RSOS in 2023!!! 😱😱😱

After struggling with Qualtrics for hours today, I have to ask: What survey software do you use if you want to embed lots of custom JavaScript code? Is there any software that doesn't make this an absolute pain? #SciSky

Hallo Bluesky! Wir sind die Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. #DFG Als Selbstverwaltungsorganisation der #Wissenschaft in Deutschland fördern wir erkenntnisgeleitete #Forschung. Hier erhaltet Ihr Infos u.a. zu Förderangeboten, Ausschreibungen und Anträgen. Wir freuen uns auf den Austausch!

In a study that may surprise some or may surprise no one... Participants don't read consent forms. They spend about 8 seconds on them, older people are more likely to have read , but really 6-17% could have even skimmed. Ethical & practical issues abound. osf.io/npa3b/downlo... #metasky #phdsky

Can someone with editorial experience explain to me why manuscript review requests always come in batches? Haven't reviewed anything for 3 months, and now I'm at 5 reviews since the start of the year... #SciSky

Do you know any early career researchers in the UK who have contributed something special to improve research practices? The call for the 2025 Dorothy Bishop award is open now! Nominations close on 26 January 2025. www.ukrn.org/2024/12/12/t...

PsyArXiv has a new streamlined preprint submission workflow: blog.psyarxiv.com/2024/12/02/p... Consider submitting your work to PsyArXiv (or any other free preprint server) for increased visibility. More people will be able to find and read it.

COS and @forrt.bsky.social are working together to increase discoverability and usability of replication evidence. Want to contribute? FORRT is hiring paid Data Curators to help expand its replication database! Learn more: www.cos.io/blog/cos-...

IN PRESS: Discovering Statistics Using JASP

This paper by @mariogollwitzer.bsky.social, @stephannuding.bsky.social, @rolandimhoff.bsky.social, et al may become one of the most important of all behavioral science during/since 2020. Psychological research *was no less rigorous* during pandemic; may even have improved some.

We are launching MetaROR, a peer review service for research on research, about an hour from now! researchonresearch.org/project/meta... You could join us online by registering for our ongoing conference (low free or free) here: agbarnett.github.io/aimos.confer...

Interesting read! 📒 It seems like, yet again, replication is to some extent predictable. But what does this mean for choosing replication targets? Should we really go for the "easy wins" and hunt for yet another significant result?

🚨 TOMORROW 🚨 Join us for the 2nd meeting of the @rladies.org online book club (happygitwithr.com) Tuesday November 19 @ 17:00 CET (11:00 ET) Sign-up: lnkd.in/eB2zYsKU We will discuss the parts Installation and Connect Git, GitHub, RStudio of the book. Everyone is welcome! #rladies #rstats #git
