Is the psychology replication crisis (at last) catching up with animal cognition? "Our results indicate low statistical power and inflated effect sizes in both primary studies and meta-analyses." Preprint here: ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v...

Big news. I’ve started a new PI position @ucoimbra.bsky.social I'm joining the meta-research group led by @tweissgerber.bsky.social & the @ec.europa.eu funded @excelscior-era.bsky.social Thrilled to join this historic university & continue my work on #MetaResearch #EvidenceSynthesis & #OpenScience

Are you interested in thinking about which studies are worth replicating? Then you have 10 articles to dig into in Meta-Psychology, representing a very wide range of viewpoint on this topic, out now: open.lnu.se/index.php/me...

MetaROR, a platform for reviews of research on research, is a success! We have published 24 sets of reviews and have 16 submissions in process. MetaROR now has 9 partners - these are journals that agree to use our reviews when authors submit to them. metaror.org #metascience #openaccess

New global study lead by @psysciacc.bsky.social with @scanunit.bsky.social across 18 languages challenges a classic idea in psycholinguistics: when we read, we don’t always imagine objects in the same orientation as described. doi.org/10.1007/s121...

Psychological Assessment is seeking its new editor, to start receiving manuscripts in early 2027 to prepare for issues published in 2028: www.apa.org/pubs/journal... Deadline for accepting nominations is Monday, January 12, 2026, at editorsearch.apa.org @apajournals.bsky.social

Academia is brutal: Paywalls, replication crisis, intransparency, inequity, billion dollar donations in peer review, etc. Read in our inaugural editorial how R2 solves these problems. www.uni-muenster.de/Ejournals/in...

Today's email to an associate editor, declining to review for a big corporate publisher. This one focuses on Nature Publishing Group's practice of funneling rejected manuscripts to their newer journals with hefty APCs.

Migrated my book to another domain elliedegb.quarto.pub/psychometrics/ . It's a free resource on psychometric validation of instruments in R. Please share!

Defended my dissertation yesterday so I guess I’m (unofficially) Dr Leong now 😭

Next Week: Don’t miss @angeladuckworth.bsky.social & @katymilkman.bsky.social in conversation with Nobel Laureate @rthaler.bsky.social and Professor @aleximas.bsky.social about their new book, The Winner’s Curse. 📅 Thurs Oct 23 | 4-5PM 📍 Huntsman Hall G06 📩RSVP: https://bit.ly/4nbI9EG

Everything ready and set up for the Paul Meehl Graduate Symposium. Looking So forward to today, with lots of great presentations and lovely visitors! paulmeehlschool.github.io/2025-08-17-p...

The Paul Meehl Graduate school provides FREE education for PhD students in Europe, especially in metascience and methodology paulmeehlschool.github.io Today is the kick-off of their annual conference!

Looking forward to a full day dedicated to #metaresearch at the PMGS Symposium! ✨ #OpenScience

Yesterday with the META/e group at Eindhoven we discussed the draft of the new Dutch Code for Research Integrity: www.nwo-i.nl/en/news/2025... It is great to see how much transparency and FAIR data and code will become the default expectation to adhere to research integrity.

When is it appropriate to deviate from a pre-registration, and how should this be done? 🧐 Join us to find out from Daniël Lakens @lakens.bsky.social at the next ReproducibiliTea! October 28, 1pm GMT. Sign up: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/when-and-h... @tabeasch.bsky.social @reproducibilitea.org

Make an effect size prediction! @jamiecummins.bsky.social and I are replicating Balcetis & Dunning's (2010) "chocolate is more desirable than poop" (Cohen's d = 4.52) Let us known in the replies what effect size you think we'll find. Details of the study in the thread below.

This effect deserves a cult following and I will be part of it.

Where to publish reproductions and replications? (At ReplicationResearch.org of course) But seriously: There are several journal dedicated to replications and reproductions! For an overview of which journal accepts what types of studies: forrt.org/replication_...

Check out our new preprint on "How to Develop and Use Open Educational Resources" 📖✨ This iteration will later be published in a new book "Teaching Open Science" edited by @drcpennington.bsky.social and @maddipow.bsky.social. Watch this space! 👀 osf.io/preprints/ed...

🎉👶 Welcome to the last new born in the Open Science effort! Replication Research is a diamond open access journal dedicated to robust, transparent and reproducible science. #OpenScience #ScientificPublication #Replication #OpenAccess

ReplicationResearch.org is now open for submissions! Submit replications and reproductions from many different fields, as well as conceptual contributions. With diamond OA, open and citable peer review reports, and reproducibility checks, we push the boundaries of open and fair publishing.

New Nullius In Verba episode on p-hacking (Part 1 of 2). We discuss why it is useful for a single term to describe all practices that untransparently inflate error rates, and what these practices are. nulliusinverba.podbean.com/e/p-hacking-i/

We started @metaror.bsky.social MetaROR.org in part because of the absence of a journal that publishes metascience. But rather than a traditional journal, as metascientists we wanted to explore the next frontier - Publish, Review, Curate.

How we communicate risk statistics can matter as much as what we communicate. I was lucky enough to share this conversation with @hal-hershfield.bsky.social and Mark Meredith, founder of Meredith Wealth Planning. Check it out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKHa... #numeracy #risk

Useful albeit unfortunate info for those the psych job market. Stay strong out there

We're a month further into the job market - how are things looking? The good news is that the market does seem to have been delayed: ~150 new listings have appeared since my last post. The bad news is that the total is still substantially lower than what it was during the covid dip.

Apropos of recent open science conversations - this paper is an awesome primer for grad students and faculty who want to learn more: online.ucpress.edu/collabra/art...

Our reflections from #Metascience25 are now up in our blog, incl. what we learned about #OpenScience from national frameworks, the Metascience Alliance, an IPCC-like proposal and what comes next for evidence-based Open Science policy.

Even if you tell people cognitive biases are good & lead to good outcomes, we still think they have the bias less than others. Only when we see the bias as very desirable we might think we are = to others on it. From @cruzf.bsky.social & André Mata link.springer.com/content/pdf/... #psych #phdsky

This looks interesting, but I'm not sure it's asking the correct question ("Have we solved the replication crisis?") I don't think we'll agree on yes-no, not now or ever. Real question is: are we doing better science now? And better science must be a perpetual goal. Not a set destination.

Our full 2025 program and schedule are now up on our website! We've got so many great presentations lined up, you won't want to miss it! bigteamscienceconference.github.io/program/
