👇🏻 this is an excellent opportunity to contribute to a large international project, and the team is more than welcoming :)

I made an error that I found thanks to @lukaswallrich.bsky.social. The code and preprint have been corrected/updated. Effects on false positive rates are smaller and only for alternative and correlation method but I think the overall argument still works.

Coding tip of the day: make sure you leave informative comments in your code

Glad to see Elsevier is investing in important things like suggesting readers that AI reads the articles for them. Nothing screams quality like claiming reading their articles is wasted time

I fucking love buying books.

Hi #openscience friends! As Psych-DS moves forward (stay tuned for an R package update...), we're applying in parallel for renewal of the NIH grant that funds this work. If you (a) have NIH funding and (b) plan or would like to use Psych-DS for resulting datasets, please drop me a line!

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.

Putting high hopes in this one. Happy birthday to me 🥳

Is anyone else getting this error or am I missing something: Error: 'se' is not an exported object from 'namespace:metafor'? #rstats @wviechtb.bsky.social

www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1... INSPECT-SR: A tool for assessing trustworthiness of randomised controlled trials.

Yet another example of original authors being allowed to say anything they want in replies to critiques unconstrained by verifiable facts. Reply states we didn’t consider things we explicitly did, and says the original article never said things it explicitly did. Read Jamie’s thread for details:

I wrote an R package that creates standardized R project structures that are compliant with @mekline.bsky.social's psych-DS...ish. It also creates additional features for reproducibility and teaching like a readme, license, .gitignore and Quarto templates + can validate existing projects

ERROR @error.reviews was awarded a Commendation from the Society for the Improvement of Psychological Science!

For anyone who’s published systematic reviews, how often did you succeed in getting unpublished data by reaching out to authors? I don’t mean additional/IP data from published papers, but new data or data they could not get published. #evidencesynthesis

A lot of discussions about open science in psychology happened on blogs. I have been archiving them and will make their content available. I remember 37 blogs (with 2827 posts!) but which blogs did I forget, and are not on my list? Please share and reply with any that are missing!

New post! "A Tale of Two Science Reform Movements," in which I compare the recent #Metascience2025 and #SIPS2025 conferences, and find that I am much more at home at one than the other. getsyeducated.substack.com/p/a-tale-of-...

Agreed, I feel like the overall direction of the entire conference felt too abstract and almost like it’s engaging in “meta-washing”

Anyone can do post-publication peer review. Anyone can be a steward of the scientific literature. Anyone can do forensic metascience. Anyone can sleuth. That's why we are launching COSIG: the Collection of Open Science Integrity Guides, an open source resource for all of the above. cosig.net

What came first, the paper idea or the acronym

5. This is the moment of truth. The metascience community could tout this as a win and fundraise off of it, cementing their legacy as useful idiots. Or they can side with science, boldly speaking out about the bad-faith ways the Trump administration is co-opting their language and momentum.

I found this refreshing. erikengdahl.se/autism/isnt/

Autistic adults talk about disclosure: "assumptions and lack of understanding about autism meant that not only did disclosure not lead to the desired effect of having their needs met, but they were also either dismissed or discriminated against" journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... free

Brandolini underestimated how many orders of magnitude are involved

For people who published/conducted Stage 2 registered reports, have you ever had issues that required significant deviations from the Stage 1 and how have you handled this? Are there any instances where this did not lead to rejection? #openscience

Can I do another PhD 🥺👉🏽👈🏽

I am hiring a PhD student on the meaningful interpretation of effect sizes as part of my VICI funded project. This is a 4 year paid position in a welcoming and collaborative environment. Find out more or apply at www.tue.nl/werken-bij-t...

We have the connection folks... RFK jr will find the cause of autism to be something that Elon's neurolink. can fix. Since there is no longer any kind of an FDA, and he is involved with that, guess who is going to fast pass the "cure". This is so fucking dangerous I cannot even....

Good ideas — and impactful tools — don’t just come from rich, Western nations, says Aleksandra Lazić, a social scientist in Serbia https://go.nature.com/4cPMVUd

The scientific integrity community has many members with no current academic affiliation, who hence make a lot of #ICanHazPDF requests. Sympathetic institutions could make 1 or 2 fixed-term unremunerated positions available, just for the library access. Can your university help? 🙏 (Please boost!)

📚😅🎉 Yay!! I just submitted the complete manuscript of my upcoming book to the publisher! Learn to easily and clearly interpret (almost) any stats model w/ R or Python. Simple ideas, consistent workflow, powerful tools, detailed case studies. Read it for free @ marginaleffects.com #RStats #PyData

Amazing progress throughout the years, and the entire platform looks very engaging and easy to use! I really hope to see this spread within psych and adjacent fields.

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)

Co-authored with @jamesheathers.bsky.social and @drg.bsky.social. The peer-review process is completely open, so if you would like to review it you can (see the statement at the top of the pre-print for further instructions)

Diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility. Yes, those four.

We finally have our living review platform up! We’ve developed a prototype for a living database where anyone can upload individual studies, along with shiny apps that meta-analyse data filtered from the database. Preprint: osf.io/preprints/ps...

Error report #1 (#metascience): An influential meta-analysis on mindfulness based stress reduction with ~2,900 citations appears to have severe data extraction and methodological errors that inflate the difference in effects between MBSR & control groups: matthewbjane.quarto.pub/meta-analysi...

Fully agreed, I do think some people are concerned about that! Although I have the general sense that virtually everybody agrees that sharing horrible code >> not sharing any code. As evident by the fact that nobody has given me shit for my shitty code yet. bsky.app/profile/ding...

Google Scholar Alerts finally paying off. Learned about the #DataHazards project datahazards.com and the recently published article doi.org/10.1016/j.jr... A great framework for discussing ethical challenges in #datascience projects, which technically don't have research participants. #OpenScience

Our Master's program in the cognitive sciences at the University of Rijeka (Croatia) is enrolling its third generation of students! It's fully in English, comparatively cheap, on the Adriatic coast, and very interdisciplinarily intellectually stimulating! Spread the word!

We hope it will make open systematic reviews a bit less daunting (we still don’t have good suggestions for dealing with the pain caused by doing data extraction tho)

Amazing work!

The LATITUDES Network provides a library of #ValidityAssessment (AKA #RiskOfBias) tools for use in #EvidenceSyntheses such as #SystematicReviews. Researchers can register new tools and get access to training, see @jclinepi.bsky.social article: www.jclinepi.com/article/S089...
