Reminder about next week's online panel. www.psu.edu/news/univers...

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.

really nice piece on this btw from @sonjadrimmer.bsky.social sonjadrimmer.com/blog-1/2025/...

New preprint 🌟 Psychology is core to cognitive science, and so it is vital we preserve it from harmful frames. @irisvanrooij.bsky.social & I use our psych and computer science expertise to analyse and craft: Critical Artificial Intelligence Literacy for Psychologists. doi.org/10.31234/osf... 🧵 1/

Our fragmentation paper is now finally out! I put some of the dumb quips that didn't make the cut in the alt texts. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

People always ask me : “Cristi, how do you manage parenting a baby while going up for tenure?” It’s easy. The secret is *flow-based-scheduling*. Here are its three core strategies for new academic parents: Sleep when the baby sleeps Cry when the baby cries Publish when the baby publishes

This is a link to a hybrid book launch for the megavolume Methods in Philosophy of Science edited by the amazing @phieveigl.bsky.social and @adrian-currie.bsky.social Chapter 5 is mine with @inkerikoskinen.bsky.social The book will become open access in July 2026: mitpress.mit.edu/978026255224...

This only happens to you once

I like this: “mandates are not just rules, they are opportunities for equity in open access”, in the @oaspa.bsky.social poster presentation of Vrushali Dandawate from @doaj.bsky.social #OASPA2025

I am quite excited to share a new preprint on the prospects for a 'metaphilosophy of science'—a second-order inquiry into the concepts, assumptions, aims, and methods that underpin philosophy of science itself. 👇📃 philsci-archive.pitt.edu/26661/ 1/3 #philsci #philsky #HPS #HPbio #metaphilosophy

Made these for fun — hope you get a chuckle at least & consider signing Open Letter: Stop the Uncritical Adoption of AI Technologies in Academia openletter.earth/open-letter-... 💥🩷🌿‼️

I realize the world is burning, but here is the abstract of a talk I will give multiple times in different formats this month. With the feedback, I hope to write up something substantial on the theme in the remainder of the year.

Now out as preprint in Philosophy of Science. l argue that two central desiderata for measures often conflict: quantitativeness and responsiveness to stakeholder values, forcing a choice between them. The conflict poses a challenge for recent work on "legitimate" measurement. doi.org/10.1017/psa....

I did it the other way

Grateful to Cristian Larroulet Philippi — our inaugural Seddon Fellow in the HPS program at UniMelb — for a rich and most insightful deep dive… 🎧 Don't miss this one! 🔗 linktr.ee/thehpspodcast @cristianlarph.bsky.social #philsci #hps #measurement

This from @tressiemcphd.bsky.social hit me over the head like a mallet of truth. This is the thing. This is what I’ve been trying to warn people about perfectly crystallized. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/12/o...

What a great metaphor!

one of the biggest arguments against AI dependence is that the strongest proponents of its use have become visibly *dumber* in the last few years.

Hi folks! Want to reintroduce a thing I'm leading at @cos.io: the Registered Revisions (meta) Trial. This project about new peer review policy and a WILD new way of doing actionable evidence generation via RCTs. A LOT of RCTs. Now piloted and ready for the main stage, and looking for partners! 🧵👇

here’s a positive suggestion for academic publishing. Journals need to be accredited as meeting integrity standards in order to qualify for APCs enviromicro-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Dear ReproducibiliTea Organisers (current and former): Do you write blogs? As journal clubs or as individual people? Let us know in the comments!

Someone put up a tile mosaic on a public building in Seattle showing a rat looking to the heavens, with the title “Hot Rat Summer.” The city painted over it. So of course, the rat showed up at a city council meeting to protest

I'm hiring 2+ 2.5-year postdocs over the next few months. Job 1: looking for someone with deep expertise in computational modelling (reinforcement learning, agent based modelling) on real-world/complex data (closing: 18 August, starting: October-December), www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/52059/

New preprint from @tobyhandfield.bsky.social and me! We analyze authorship order norms from two perspectives: (1) why do disciplines have different norms and (2) do those different norms affect what kinds of collaborations take place. arxiv.org/abs/2507.07364

Today I had the pleasure to be a panelist in the session 'moving beyond journals' at the @royalsociety.org Future of Scientific Publishing conference. I argued that scientific publishing is going through a transformation addressing the challenges of openness, curation and meaningful dialogue.

How I picture people who are impressed by large language models

I am in London this week for the Royal Society Future of science publishing conference. I think publishing will get worse before it gets better, but the organizers have invited ppl with equally spicy opinions so should be fun royalsociety.org/science-even...

Coming *very* soon #philsci

The "reproducibility crisis" in science constantly makes headlines. Repro efforts are often limited. What if you could assess reproducibility of an entire field? That's what @brunolemaitre.bsky.social et al. have done. Fly immunity is highly replicable & offers lessons for #metascience A 🧵 1/n

Why I'm more optimistic than others about metascience (or metaresearch) (I wanted to write up some thoughts on #metascience2025 but I just don't have the time so this thread will have to do.)

This has always been my critique of "MAKE IT ALL OPEN RIGHT NOW." It's expensive to do especially when it's not FAIR. And by mandating it, most ppl are just checking a box, and not actually sharing things that are usable. So why are we doing it? #opendata #metascience2025 #EuropeanLevelSolutions

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.

#OpenScience lobbyists, skeptics and everything in between: consider coming to Munich in May 2026 (gorgeous time to visit..) to discuss the future of Open Research! FOR2026 is open for submissions: opensciencestudies.eu/for-2026-con... pls help spread the word 🙏 #philsci #sts #methods #policy 🧪

To be FAIR: Theory specification needs an update! Theories that others can reuse and update help navigate the "theory crisis". The theorytools R-package now has tutorials showing how to make theories FAIR and use them to select covariates, simulate data, etc osf.io/preprints/ps...
