PsyArXiv is now down to only ~40% of the backlog we started with, thanks to our amazing moderators 🎉 To all mods: thank you so much for your hard work! Did one of your preprints get approved recently? Help us show our thanks by liking and sharing this post :) #PsyArXiv #PsychSciSky

OSF is reviewing its generalist preprint server partly because of “Volume and quality challenges: The generalist server has seen increasing numbers of suspicious or low-quality submissions…trends such as generative AI and paper mills have introduced new risks to research integrity”

This RedNote post shocked me today. An anonymous user says they are going to upload 60 papers to arXiv soon and are looking for “citation partners” to boost citation counts together by citing each other. Something is seriously wrong in the system of evaluating researchers by citation counts.

During the Inclusive Autism Research Day, people with autism shared with researchers what needs to change in research! The day started with presentations and continued with engaging round table discussions. Immensely proud of what we organized! @mauranevejans.bsky.social @explora-gent.bsky.social

🔍 Unlocking perspective in autism – 2024 workshop session: 🧠 Maura Nevejans applied relational frame theory to perspective-taking and theory of mind in autism. 🎥 Watch here: youtu.be/ZEI87dXV0rM?... #SelfOtherDistinction #PsychobiologyResearch #SocialCognition #NeuroscienceProject

Finally, the hard copy version of the book on automatic imitation, @craccoemiel.bsky.social and I edited, has arrived. We're glad the book is also available as open access via the following link: link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

New paper out (the first one from my PhD! 😊): "The impact of model eyesight and social reward on automatic imitation in virtual reality" doi.org/10.1037/xhp0... (With Roeljan Wiersema, Jan de Houwer & @craccoemiel.bsky.social)

Aaaand another paper where the title is a good description of our findings: 'Self-Bias and Self-Related Mentalizing are Unaltered in Adolescents with Autism' link.springer.com/article/10.1... - by Letizia Amodeo, with myself, David Williams, and Roeljan Wiersema @explora-gent.bsky.social

The preprint of our questionnaire study is out now! The title already gives away our main finding: “Adults with autism prefer to communicate with others who also have autism: a mixed-method study”. You can find it here: doi.org/10.31234/osf... w/ @annabelnijhof.bsky.social and Roeljan Wiersema

Very grateful for the opportunity to present our research at the Social Cognition Workshop as a blitz talk (and a poster)! Thank you for the interesting questions and discussions. I’m already looking forward to next year’s edition! 😄

EXPLORA was present at the Delacroix meeting in Brussels last week - so many new AND familiar faces! 🤩 @hannahdelaet.bsky.social presented her study on communication between individuals with autism, and @mauranevejans.bsky.social her study linking deictic reasoning to autism traits. 💡

This week, I attended the autism workshop organized by the Delacroix Research Foundation! Three days filled with interesting talks and posters. I loved hearing and learning about different autism research areas (and presented a poster myself!).
