📢 New preprint: osf.io/preprints/me... We outline a sample characteristics table for metaresearch studies + our vision for an automated workflow to make it easier to see who & what is represented in study samples, supporting generalisability & #EDI To be continued at #RRiA2025 next week! 🚀

Metascience 2025 recordings are now available! #Metascience25 gathered researchers, funders, policymakers & more to explore how the research process can improve. The program included preconference symposia & plenary sessions on topics from policy change to AI in research. 🎥 cassyni.com/s/metasc...

🇨🇭🇪🇺 Just Published in Royal Society Open Science! A scoping review on metrics to quantify reproducibility: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/... Ever conducted a replication and pondered when/how to conclude if it was (un)successful? We have just the paper for you (led by Rachel Heyard)! 1/14

Shape research culture + practices! Join the Responsible Research in Action Unconference 2025, Sept 22–24, Berlin, to collaborate on innovative solutions – from reproducibility checks to researcher-driven funding models. rr-in-action2025.org @dfg.de @ucoimbra.bsky.social @berlinualliance.bsky.social

We’ve heard lots about improving #reproducibility at #MetaScience2025 - but how do we stay on top of the evidence for what works? Don’t miss Sean Smith’s talk today (T4.5, 2pm) on building a living, curated, interactive summary of interventions to improve reproducibility @irise-eu.bsky.social

iRISE is at Metascience 2025! The Opening Plenary was an engaging session, featuring diverse perspectives on how metascience can power policymaking. For those attending, don't miss Sean Smith presenting iRISE’s innovative work tomorrow at 2pm in Session 4, T4.5. #Metascience2025 #Reproducibility

The inaugural entry of our iRISE Reproducibility Discussion Series features Dr. Rachel Heyard, who will delve into the complex yet critical topic of "Defining reproducibility: challenges and opportunites of a shared vocabulary": irise-project.eu/news/#!/Deta... Let us know your thoughts!

There is still time to register for our Train-the-Trainer session on Reproducibility! #Reproducibility #Metascience2025

So excited to get started today in London @eppicentre.bsky.social but I couldn’t quite leave #CAMARADES behind 🥲

What's the moment of luck that's had the biggest impact for your academic career? For me, it was how I wouldn't have gotten a PhD fellowship if it wasn't for the 1st-ranked person declining, which meant that I was awarded the fellowship as 2nd-ranked applicant. That was my last shot at a PhD.

🚀 New feature in the #ASySD R package: a Shiny pop-up to speed up manual deduplication. Huge thanks to the brilliant @lukaswallrich.bsky.social for adding this to the package! Latest version available at github.com/camaradesuk/... #EvidenceSynthesis #SystematicReviews

Happy Advent! I created a special Advent calendar designed to highlight problems and inconsistencies in academic papers and scientific journals. Each day, a new case will be published, and your task is to spot the problem. Day 1. Enjoy! papermills.tilda.ws/advent

A growing problem --- fake papers polluting systematic reviews. And interesting point that the gold-standard protocols that Cochrane is developing to weed out untrustworthy studies, are too much of an effort for systematic-review authors looking at 100s of papers. www.science.org/content/arti...

🚨 New paper alert! 🚨 Our take on how a more interconnected evidence ecosystem can improve the efficiency and impact of #evidencesynthesis and drive progress in #neuroscience research.
