🏆 Individual: @simine.com, psychologist at @unimelb.bsky.social & editor-in-chief of Psychological Science, is recognized for pioneering methodological rigor, reproducibility & collaborative research, driving initiatives such as @improvingpsych.org & the journal Collabra @ucpress.bsky.social. (2/5)

Parabéns à Iniciativa Brasileira de Reprodutibilidade, nosso projeto-mãe e membro da Rede, pela conquista do Einstein Foundation Award for Promoting Quality in Research na categoria instiucional!

I think it's hard to overstate how much Simine has changed research practices and standards in psychology for the better, despite at times massive resistance from powerful parties with a vested interest in maintaining the status quo. Very well deserved award imho 🥳

🚧 OSF experienced a temporary slowdown today due to a surge of automated bot traffic. This overwhelmed parts of the production environment that didn't yet have the right safeguards in place, causing performance issues. The underlying issue has been addressed, & further protections are now in place.

Last Friday, we published the 500th article of Peer Community Journal! 🥳

PCI Psychology is open for submissions! Did you know that you can easily submit your recommended preprint to any of the 20+ PCI Psych friendly journals? See all friendly journals here: psych.peercommunityin.org/about/pci_fr... #PsychSciSky #SciPub

This. If you can't make an informed decision based on the reviewers' comments and your own thoughtful assessment, you shouldn't be an editor.

Please help us, #MetaScience community! It's time to decide on a forever name for papercheck (scienceverse.github.io/papercheck/). We don't want it to be confused with papercheck.ai, and we plan to check other research artifacts like repo contents, data, code, and prereg. Any suggestions?

Dear PsyArXiv users! The OSF platform, which hosts PsyArXiv, has updated the PsyArXiv user interface! Unfortunately, some key moderation functions need repairs after the upgrade. This will delay some moderation decisions this week. 🔧 Thank you for your patience!

Have you done (or are you planning) a replication of a social-personality finding? Then submit a poster or flash talk on it to the virtual SIPS@SPSP preconference, happening online on February 24, 2026. 🔗 Find out more:

It has been an amazing experience to be President of @improvingpsych.org for the past year. There aren't many societies that would engage early career researchers in leadership, but SIPS is very special 🧡✨

If it doesn’t survive the washing machine or the dish washer, maybe it was never meant to be part of your household in the first place.

Friendly reminder for those submitting manuscripts to PsyArXiv! Upon submission, moderators will check the preprint (i.e., the PDF file) and the metadata (i.e., the submission form) to ensure it fulfills the guidelines. Make sure you follow them! For details 👉 buff.ly/M3cRBW2

Hi all! I'm on sabbatical this year and have bandwidth to zoom into lab meetings to talk about open science in cog psych and speech research and/or how to implement practices that reduce research errors! (www.carleton.edu/perception-l...). Email me if that sounds fun to you too!

Don't let minor submission errors delay the publication of your research! 📝 🔬 Remember to check the full guidelines when submitting the manuscript to PsyArXiv (buff.ly/M3cRBW2). Below, we also have a few friendly reminders!

Great news-- @felixthoemmes.bsky.social to be the next EiC at AMPPS! See below for information about joining his team.

I want this kind of back and forth to be somewhere that everyone can see it and enjoy it, in perpetuity. What if peer review worked more like this, in the open?

We're looking for examples of #RegisteredReports with a publicly available Stage 1 manuscript and #OpenData that use one of the following statistical tests! If you know of one, please link it below! (See next post for list of tests)

Congratulations to my good friend and colleague Kailey Lawson @kaileylawson.bsky.social, one of the smartest, kindest, and most efficient people I've ever had the pleasure of collaborating with.

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of listening to Dorothy Bishop emphasize the responsibility of editors during the 12th PCI Webinar! If you weren't able to join, you can catch her talk and the following Q&A session at this link: youtu.be/0NJ87tYE8_s

🥳 PsyArXiv is back to normal operations 🥳 Thanks to the fantastic team of moderators (thank you all🙏), PsyArXiv has resumed normal operations. You can expect any newly posted or edited preprint to be moderated within 24-72 hours of submission. Learn more from our blog post👇 buff.ly/OtpsKhm

Are you an early career researcher (undergrad to postdoc) who could use advice about navigating peer review? Are you stuck on a manuscript submission or revision? Have general questions about peer review? Schedule a 30-min chat with any member of @reviewerzero.bsky.social! We'd love to help 😊

PsyArXiv's amazing team of 100+ moderators has now approved all preprints that meet the requirements outlined in the updated PsyArXiv policies (is.gd/paxpolicy). Thank you to everyone who volunteered, this was a true community effort! #PsychSciSky

If you have submitted a preprint to PsyArXiv in the last year or so and it *isn't* currently accessible, there's a good chance it's due to the document listing authors whom you haven't entered in the metadata.

Three researchers describe their the good experience they had with MetaRoR @metaror.bsky.social coordinating peer review of their preprint, and how this led quickly to a journal publication, based on the open reviews from the MetaROR process www.openscience.nl/en/cases/the... #metascience

GREAT candidates for SIPS executive council. I wanted to rank them all #1. Check your email to vote. @improvingpsych.org

Important updates to the PsyArXiv policies! If you're a #PsyArXiv user, these are worth taking the time to read. #PsychSciSky

⚠️ PsyArXiv is updating its policies in light of a higher volume of low quality submissions and our recent switch to a pre-moderation workflow. Read more about this change here 👉 (buff.ly/8jhqRJu ) and see our updated policies here 👉 (is.gd/paxpolicy ).
