Our new preprint "fAIr science — How AI can support a transparent biopsychological research cycle" is out 🚀 AI is rapidly entering biopsychological research, from literature review and study design to data analysis. But can these tools advance open science, or do they risk undermining it? 👇 [1/4]

The #PuG2026 is taking place in Heidelberg this week! We are very excited about the exceptional lineup of speakers in the symposia and poster sessions and want to draw your special attention to the #Posterblitz organised by the ERCs taking place on Friday from 2 to 3:30 PM in HS13! ⚡

A recent paper by Epp et al. in NN claimed that ~40% of reported BOLD findings could be misinterpreted. In our reanalysis, we identified several statistical issues that, in our view, undermine these conclusions. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 👇 1/11

Tomorrow is the deadline! Finalize your concept and apply for the WissKomm Prize 🚀

Join us for the LOVE REPLICATIONS WEEK from March 2 - 6 with talks on reproductions, replications, how to find them, how to conduct them, how to have them conducted on your study, where to publish them, and much more!

Now we wrote a piece about many things we always wanted to say about replications. How they are used, tracked and valued by the science community. And how we can evaluate their results, whatever those may be 🤔 Read the preprint 📃 osf.io/preprints/me... Browse the Hub 🌐 forrt.org/replication-...

It has been a while since @flavioazevedo.bsky.social asked me to take over the Reversals project at @forrt.bsky.social... It has since evolved beyond my wildest dreams, mostly thanks to @aufdroeseler.bsky.social & @lukaswallrich.bsky.social. We are very proud of the Replication Hub & Database ♥️

Our paper on improving statistical reporting in psychology is now online 🎉 As a part of this paper, we also created the Transparent Statistical Reporting in Psychology checklist, which researchers can use to improve their statistical reporting practices www.nature.com/articles/s44...

🌟 We have launched our preregistration platform PreReg! 🌟 PreReg guides researchers through all the steps of pre-registration and now offers an even clearer structure. #Preregistration #OpenScience #Psychology leibniz-psychology.org/en/news/deta...

Although some researchers manage to perfectly adhere to preregistrations, it is common to need to deviate. Not all deviations are consequential, but some are, and it is important to evaluate the impact of deviations on the severity of a test. online.ucpress.edu/collabra/art...

When the same data tells a different story… 📊🔍 You’d think analyzing the same dataset would lead to the same conclusions, but our new BMC Biology study shows otherwise. Different methods - different answers! Why? It's complicated... My experience in the study → 🔗 the3dlab.org/2025/02/06/w...
