This is most definitely an occasion for malicious compliance. Texas Tech will cease to function as a university if faculty follow this for every component of every course.

I named my fists Greenwald and Banaji because you won't even be aware of what hit you.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

A talk I gave a couple of weeks ago during Politecnico Milano Datathon. I discuss the Majorana controversy, how data sharing can mediate a lot of the ambiguities. And I begin discussing the controversial 2025 APS Buckley prize, which I will do more in months ahead... www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3t0...

This is fundamentally Nazism. The idea that different peoples than the favored races carry degradation in their very genes, that they cannot strive to become better because biology compels them to be worse. It’s not just repugnant, it’s a bald faced lie.

Inspiring thread highlighting the integration of replication with training in research methods, and the generation of useful evidence leading to several student led publications.

Love being reminded to do this every year. It's a win/win all round

"a single person of this demographic may have committed a crime, therefore we must punish the entire demographic" is a policy response you may recognize from fascist governments dedicated to ethnic cleansing elsewhere.

“Simine Vazire talks the talk and walks the walk,” writes @briannosek.bsky.social @cos.io. 🏆 The €150,000 award allows her to continue prioritizing research rigor and honors the mentors, colleagues, and students who made her work possible. Short interview: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0H3g... (3/4)

Hey folks! We're running a big repliCATS workshop in Melbourne on 16 Dec, evaluating of replicability of published papers. 🐈 metascience, psych, med, health, education, sociol, quant methods, stats ECRs welcome 💰 AU$200 🎫 + travel subsidies ℹ️ forms.gle/9JvoRBKCzYyY... Re-posts appreciated 🌈

Earlier this year, COS launched the Predicting Replicability Challenge, a public competition to advance automated assessment of research claims. Round 1 results are now available! New teams are welcome to join for Round 2. 📊 Read more on our blog :

Round 1 results of our predicting replicability challenge are released! The Challenge capitalizes on interest in using AI methods to do scientific tasks. Ten teams tried to predict replication outcomes from unreleased SCORE findings. Results? Not so hot! Post: www.cos.io/blog/predict...

Very interesting work by @evavivalt.bsky.social and @sdellavi.bsky.social. Particularly intriguing is the finding that a surprising negative relationship between confidence and accuracy is accounted for by a subset of persistently overconfident forecasters.

🏆 Early Career: Erring Rigorously, led by Maximilian Sprang, bioinformatician at @unimainz.bsky.social, quantifies the impact of errors in high-throughput sequencing and aims to improve reproducibility and data reliability in functional genomics. (4/5)

Congratulations to the Brazilian Reproducibility Initiative -- a remarkable effort by a remarkable team. This is a wonderful acknowledgement of an incredible contribution to assessing and improving research quality.

Science is a collective effort, but @simine.com is a singular force. She is an exemplary model for all of us to follow in her commitment and action to improving science, on every dimension. She is so deserving of the award. The only uncertainty is whether the award deserves her!

Turning abstract policy into real-world practice is challenging, and sometimes messy. In the coming months, COS will highlight how we and other in the research community are putting the TOP Guidelines into action in real research settings. 💡 Learn more in our blog post:

We @opensciencenl.bsky.social proudly present the new work programme for 2026–2027. 13 funding instruments to strengthen #openscience in the Netherlands. Structured around 5 themes: 🔹infrastructure 🔹capacity 🔹communities 🔹incentives 🔹monitoring www.openscience.nl/en/news/work...

More voices from those also affected by Miles Hewstone‘s behavior, hitting walls when trying to be heard. Katherine Griffiths from @bloomberg.com gave everyone a voice that can no longer be silenced. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

The best comedy gets you laughing right up to where you realize that you've been receiving truth bombs the whole time. This is a brilliant 3 minutes of comedy.

There is so much to be disappointed about in this story--from the institutional response to Miles Hewstone himself. We still have a lot of work to do to make academic environments inclusive spaces where everyone can thrive, and where harassers are held accountable.

Academic libraries play a key role in open science support, but what does that look like in practice? COS convened librarians & research professionals to discuss how they partner w/ researchers, administrators, & others to grow open scholarship awareness & participation. 📚:

Some news: Open Philanthropy is now Coefficient Giving! Our mission is unchanged but the new name reflects our growing work with other donors to multiply the impact of their giving. 🧵 on our work to make philanthropy a more efficient "market" and plans going forward:

I'm looking forward to more discussions & actions we can take with this new initiative. Safeguarding scientific data requires coordinated initiative across many sectors. @datarescueproject.org has been a critical component in building community responses, and there is still much to be done.

I recently discovered Conventional Comments (conventionalcomments.org) for providing a pseudo-standard set of labels for feedback and just tried it for an article review and it was really helpful to specify issues vs. thoughts vs. suggestions, etc. Hopefully it's helpful for the authors too!

New: A community coordination effort to develop a framework for long-term stewardship of federally-funded data. Powered by partnership with DataCite, CODE, Data Rescue Project, GO FAIR, Data Foundation, IOI, and others. Thanks to RWJF for support to do the work. www.cos.io/about/news/c...

It's a revealing moment... J.D. Vance welcomes a two-legged robot helping on the job site. But if that helper is a person named Jose, he calls it a threat. Same tasks, same productivity boost. The inconsistency reveals this isn’t about economics.

Jim Ryan is a man of incredible character and this is a deeply troubling read. Gov. Spanberger and the legislature need to get those three members of the board to resign and reevaluate the university and state's ties with McGuireWoods drive.google.com/file/d/1Is6x...

Wrapping up the final row all at once: What papers to you are prototype examples of having huge, moderate, or minimal citation impact and also minimal actual impact, in whatever way you define actual impact?

This lesson applies broadly. One can be working to dismantle or reform a system without also being hostile or antagonistic. In fact, an open, positive approach invites engagement and inclusion, even of those that have questions or misgivings.

Ericsson & Simon (1980) takes the middle cell psycnet.apa.org/record/1980-... Now, your nominations for minimal citation impact but moderate actual impact? A contribution that altered policy or practice... A paper that extinguished an active area of research... An uncredited gem...

Hu & Bentler (1999) with >130k citations selected for huge citation and moderate actual impact--see Nils' rationale that a lot of citation use is unthinking or to stop thinking. What then is the prototype of prototypes for the moderate citation impact and moderate actual impact?

My Shiny app containing 3530 Open Science blog posts discussing the replication crisis is updated - you can now use the SEARCH box. I fixed it as my new PhD Julia wanted to know who had called open scientists 'Methodological Terrorists' :) shiny.ieis.tue.nl/open_science...

Youyou Tu's work on anti-malarial compounds that saved millions of lives (w/Nobel+Lasker recognition) wins the low citation/huge impact cell. The original paper has 87 citations as of today: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11721477/ Hopefully she can get to 100. What for huge citations and moderate impact?

An off-the-wall example that I love is Schwartz (2008) "The importance of stupidity in research" It does not break scientific ground, but it is a "most shared" work for addressing imposter syndrome. Beautiful paper. journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/...

With 2508 citations in 127 years, Student (1908) introducing the t-test wins for huge actual impact with moderate citation impact: www.jstor.org/stable/23315... Now, how about huge actual impact and minimal citation impact?

"“Just Noticeable” Differences in Pay: A Systematic Review of Past Accomplishments and Future Opportunities", an Outcomes Report in Lifecycle Journal, is under review with @researchhubf.bsky.social Check it out if you'd like to be part of the evaluation process! www.researchhub.com/paper/961814...

Incredible thread summarizing Ellis's ruling.

We’ve been heads down @ArcadiaScience for a bit but the @arenabioworks news this week caused me to dump thoughts. hard things are hard; don’t be such a fucking hater. Reflections on parallels w our own institutional experiment here seemay.substack.com/p/big-experi...

Not to this example’s extreme, but initial stylized demonstrations will usually be low rigor. Might there be opportunity to reinvent intro psych to be grounded more in cumulative knowledge rather than recounting historical (and sometimes problematic) demonstrations?

Tversky & Kahneman (1974) wins for huge citation and actual impact: www.science.org/doi/abs/10.1... Now, what paper had a moderate citation impact but a huge actual impact?

Ouch
