The replication crisis is only over when psychology journals stop publishing such biased articles that blame replication failures on replicators and not the use of p-hacking in original studies. Pathetic. replicationindex.com/2026/02/13/r...

Is this finally the baseball quote, where somebody compared their 1/3 success rate to a 33% batting average in baseball?

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

A Federal judge in Oregon ruled that ICE can NOT use chemicals on protestors for exercising their 1st amendment rights. youtu.be/gvL9ckyrDTM?...

I am not a doctor. I am a doctor of philosophy. That just means I doctored my dissertation. 😃😁😇

I want to laugh at it but sadly it’s true.

Next level simulation work. The simulation is still running and you can check the results as they accumulate. Z-curve produces 95% CI with 95% coverage even with k = 50 sig. results across many realistic scenarios. replicationindex.com/2026/02/03/c...

The hidden power of anonymous peer reviewers in legacy journals with closed peer-review. Maybe just publish in open, scientific journals like Meta-Psychology. replicationindex.com/2026/02/03/h...

Based on the amazing FReD replication explorer, I finally have some evidence for the claim that the observed replication rate is lower in social than in disciplines like cognitive psychology forrt.org/FReD-apps/ex... 1/

Didn't Bem describe his PSI experiments as rhetorical devices? daniellakens.blogspot.com/2025/09/type...

Another AI gem: 1. Articles optimize for novelty; books optimize for understanding Maybe journal culture and performance indicators like H-index killed social science. Tower of bable. Every article starts with a new framework, no integration possible. Yes, I am writing a book.

old wine in new bottles, but if you haven't seen this preregistered p-hacked 9 study article yet, take a look It even comes with a response by the authors, no we did not p-hack, but they did. replicationindex.com/2026/01/18/p...

How do you respond to the concerns about z-curve that z-curve is a selection model and should not be used when there is no selection bias??? replicationindex.com/2026/01/27/z...

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

This was a really great discussion with people pushing the boundaries of scientific resesrch in their ManyMany projects. Really the cutting edge of scientific knowledge generation!

Me: Erik, you made a mistake in your simulation. Sometimes there were no false positives to detect missing non-significant tests of true H0 Erik: I’m not interested in more pointless discussions with you. I can do without your insults and misrepresentations. replicationindex.com/2026/01/24/o...

The problem is not AI. The problem is human ab/users. SPSS did not phack either

The existing reproducibility crisis is exacerbated by publication pressure. Lack of incentives for replication studies & funding difficulties make science vulnerable. AI could worsen this by enabling rapid generation of plausible but flawed papers. #Reproducibility 3/6

There is huge heterogeneity in effect sizes. So, what does the zero average tell us. What is needed and real work is to figure out the moderators. Until then, we do not know how and why inequality is correlated with mental health across nations. But we know, poverty is bad.

Really no bias? How likely are 7 p-values between .05 and .005 in a preregistered article? replicationindex.com/2026/01/18/p...

"We find that questionable research practices (QRPs) are widespread across all fields of research and seniority levels. Yet, younger, more prolific researchers, and those dismissing the seriousness of QRPs admitted to more QRPs" journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

New study shows Portugese researchers engage in questionable research practices (sometimes frequently), even though most admit these are problematic. QRPs studied are mainly related to integrity, but includes hypothesizing after results are known. journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

Remember: The real freeloaders in this country are the rich — not the poor or immigrants or any other group of people vilified as scapegoats. The richest 1% evade $163 billion in taxes every year. The United States literally has yacht and private jet tax deductions. Hello?

Social psychology is not a science; at best it is sciences with conflicting claims about replicabilty and priming. “there is no crisis of replication” American Psychologist 2025 Priming is real (Psych Bull, 2023) replicationindex.com/2026/01/13/e...

Priming is real in 2023. Just ask Dolores Albarracín. It is sad when you know the people, and they are nice in person, but just unable to be scientists. The problem is that they have social power to spread fake claims.

2025 seems to be the end of p-curve. This preprint shares what we have learned from 10 years of p-curve results. replicationindex.com/2026/01/03/w...

It is just so hard to keep up with the prolific work by my buddy Roy. The article is from 2019, retracted in 2023, but I just found it. Keep looking out for his amazing work.

Ok, p-curve is dead. What is the alternative? How about z-curve? I am tired of incompetent critics. Why don't you take a stab at it? replicationindex.com/2026/01/01/w...

Evidence of publication bias at Christmas

2025 Reflections A famous saying is "A crisis is an opportunity" And every opportunity attracts opportunists. And many opportunists have used the replication crisis to sell their solutions. Now we see what really makes a difference and what was opportunistic BS.

This important meta-science article should not be hidden behind a paywall.

I think there is an argument to be made that Gelman has not made any positive contribution to meta-science. I mean Type-S error. Cut Type-I error in half and call it an important advance in inferential statistics? LOL

However, it beats PMS-SEM

Somebody never plaid Monopoly.

The young kids may not remember the attack on personality psychology is that all of the correlations are just a measure of semantic similarity anyways. And internal consistency is just four semantic similar items, alpha > .8. The real correlations are harder to predict.
