Reproducibility Rounds: The SCORE Project 📅 May 26, 2026 ⏰ 9–10 a.m. PST Join Brian Nosek (Center for Open Science) to explore what biomedicine can learn about reproducibility from social & behavioral research! To register, please visit: stanford.zoom.us/meeting/regi... #TranslationalScience

Why are drug costs so high? Part of the reason is low replicability rates in preclinical research. Tim Errington breaks down the "clinical vs. preclinical" divide and where different types of institutions fit in the translational ecosystem. #Metascience #Innovation #Academia #DrugDiscovery

By making OSF content easier to find, interpret, connect, measure, and reuse, COS is helping ensure that open research can move more effectively across systems and communities that use it. Learn about recent OSF updates that enhance discoverability in our latest blog post.

In a recent COS webinar, two funding orgs shared how they use the TOP Guidelines to align open science policies with the realities of their research communities. Read our latest blog post for key takeaways, and download the accompanying quick-reference guide for funders. 🏦

In our latest researcher Q&A, research scientist and biostatistician Alisha Bruton shares how she integrates open science into her workflow, navigates data sharing in collaborative research, and applies FAIR principles to help make research more findable and reusable. 💡

And at the @uni-muenster.de Psychology Department's poster session yesterday, Neele Kolber and Miriam Müller presented our Replication Research poster. We will return with it to further on-site conferences this year!

At #SIPS2026, @briannosek.bsky.social is now presenting his keynote "Repeatability: Redoing Research for Reproducibility, Robustness, and Replicability Reveals Reliability and Rigor Risks" & talking about the SCORE project (www.cos.io/score)! #OpenScience @cos.io @improvingpsych.org

First up, Timothy Errington, @cos.io, Center for Open Science, with "Insights on making research processes, content, and outcomes openly accessible" We looked at 3900 papers in 62 journals, and focussed on 600 papers for repeatability tests. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #WCRI2026

What a moment! 🌟 @elisabethbik.bsky.social, @brandonstell.bsky.social, @pubpeer.com, and Tim Errington @cos.io on stage at #WCRI2026 For our 5-year-old #EinsteinFoundationAward, there's no better birthday present than seeing our winners on the world's premier stage for research integrity.

- And, if you're ready for sharing, upload your data to the OSF @cos.io, taking advantage of their existing Psych-DS community metadata functionality. Run the whole app from beginning to end to curate & share a FAIR dataset, w/ good metadata and a structure that is easy for others to understand!

Psych-DS is spellcheck for your datasets, and it has an R package now! Available in beta now, made by the excellent Brian Leonard, instructions here: psych-ds.github.io/psychds-r/

I'm looking forward to #WCRI2026 next week, I'll be presenting some of the @cos.io research team's work in the symposium on "The Interplay between Open Science, Transparency and Artificial Intelligence" Wednesday morning. Hope to see some of you there!

Tomorrow at #WCRI2026, the #EinsteinFoundationAward hosts a plenary showcasing winners who advance responsible science. Timothy Errington @cos.io, @brandonstell.bsky.social @pubpeer.com, and @elisabethbik.bsky.social share insights on open science, post-publication peer review and error detection.

Excited for my talk today at Cornell University on reproducibility in the soc & behavior sciences, results from SCORE w/ a focus on sociology. In case you can't make it, I made a pre-recorded video youtu.be/kMwOwZaYYtE @briannosek.bsky.social @weedenkim.bsky.social #openscience #reproducibility

SocArxiv is on modified moderation status at the moment. We can accept papers, and we can reject those that only need metadata revisions - but revisions that require a new paper upload are being held in queue. We hope this will be fixed in the coming week. Sorry for this! DM/email any questions.

🗞️ A recent editorial in The Guardian draws on SCORE findings to examine how replication results are interpreted: “Not every failed replication signals a crisis...Results that don’t consistently replicate should be weighed against a wider evidence base when guiding policy”

Recently, I got quite frustrated listening to a large group of economists discussing preregistration and pre analysis plans. So, I've channelled that into an argument for why they should be preregistering their work whenever performing confirmatory research kdoroc.substack.com/p/arguing-wi...
