New blog post! Sometimes, when reviewing a manuscript, it's really unclear to me what precisely the authors are trying to do -- which makes it hard to evaluate the work properly. So, here's some advice for how to ensure that readers don't get lost. www.the100.ci/2025/02/17/r...

“Curry’s letter describes “an assault on scientific research…huge cuts in funding & regime of censorship (particularly with regard to equity, diversity & inclusion & climate) that is a direct threat to freedom of expression & academic freedom. These actions contravene the society’s code of conduct”

You may have heard of Questionable Research Practices and "HARKing" as threats to replicability. In a new paper led by @sakshighai.bsky.social, we argue that a similar practices -- Questionable Generalizability Practices and "MASKing" -- undermine generalizability. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

So hard to imagine reading this anno 2025 www.statnews.com/2025/01/31/c...

Which findings should we replicate? Isager et al propose a 'replication value', defined as the maximum expected utility gain when conducting a replication. It is a function of (1) the value of being certain about the claim, and (2) uncertainty about the claim. osf.io/preprints/me...

🔍 Is double-blind peer review really the gold standard for scientific integrity? Christopher Mebane argues it may actually obscure bias and data, risking the rigor of research. Transparency, he claims, is key to safeguarding science. 🧪 #ScienceIntegrity #PeerReview doi.org/10.1093/etoj...

Very interesting paper on the double-blind peer-review system! I am curious about your thoughts on this topic

'Gentrificatie: moeten we een wijk dan níet opwaarderen?' Ik schreef een artikel over #gentrificatie in het nieuwe nummer van @sampolmaandblad.bsky.social. (En de andere artikels in dit nummer zijn ook zeer lezenswaardig.) www.sampol.be/2025/01/gent...

I have to play around with this legendry packages. Looks great!

If you are searching a journal with Diamond Open Access policy, this network of journals might be a good starting point. Thx for sharing @lakens.bsky.social

Looking forward to our first meeting of the year - this Tuesday! @teunbrand.bsky.social *returns* as presenter to tell us about the {legendry} package (next in the line of so many great, thought-provoking presentations!). 🤯 teunbrand.github.io/legendry/

For those interested I very inregularly blog and share workshop materials here on #Rstats #brms #bayesian 👉 sdemaeyer.quarto.pub

The drive to do all the things is a recipe for burnout. Saying no is one of the most important skills one can develop.

Have you heard the murmurs about {legendry}? The incomparable @teunbrand.bsky.social is speaking at #ggplot2 #rstats extenders meetup on the 'ride to getting this package on the rails' . Happening virtually *next Tuesday* at ggplot2 extension meetup. Info on the meetup and the legendry meetup 🧵

Great introduction to Bayesian stats with brms! evalf21.classes.andrewheiss.com/resource/bay...
