🚨 Registrations are now OPEN for the official launch of the APRICOT Project! 🚨 Join us as we explore how ontologies can advance behaviour change science. 🌍🧠 🗓️ 17 June 2025 ⏰ 3:30 PM – 5:00 PM (UK Time) Register here: tinyurl.com/HBCP-APRICOT

We’re hiring! RoRI is looking for a Research Fellow/Senior Research Fellow in metascience to join our team at UCL. If you're passionate about improving research systems, cultures and decision-making - we’d love to hear from you. More details & how to apply: www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/...

Cool paper in AMPPS of @psychscience.bsky.social "One App to Rule Them All: A One-Stop Calculator and Guide for 95 Effect-Size Variants for Two-Group Comparisons of Central Tendency, Variability, Overlap, Dominance, and Distributional Tails” doi.org/10.1177/2515...

Tens of thousands of psychological measures have been created, but 79% are not reused more than twice. In a new article in NHB lead by @faridanvari.bsky.social and @ruben.the100.ci we quantify this fragmentation in psychology's measures and propose solutions. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

How do you identify predatory journals (other than their 90s vibe websites)? Which list or lists do you rely on?

We love to share new papers on here. But how many of the studies that scientists preregister on the Open Science Framework are never shared publicly? In a new paper in AMPPS we estimate 40% of preregistered studies are never shared. That’s a lot. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... 🧵⤵️

New #preprint by @leungyianna.bsky.social: We introduce #ReSearchTerms: a #ShinyApp that visualises the content of #definitions for a set of key terminology in #OpenScholarship (selected from @forrt.bsky.social). Preprint: osf.io/qsp7x ShinyApp: msleungyi.shinyapps.io/Re-SearchTer...

Want to get editing experience? If you have a PhD & are a member of a group that’s historically underrepresented in editorial roles, apply for a 1 yr editorial fellowship at one of APS’s journals (including Psych Science)! Deadline 7 Feb. Please share! www.psychologicalscience.org/publications...

Announcing a side-project that I have been working on for the past few months – introducing quokka, a free-to-use, in-browser app for qualitative coding. My goal was to make an app that was fairly intuitive and flexible so that it could fit most workflows. An app demo here: youtu.be/9jJK70W0hAI?...

I've just submitted a paper on my experiences creating and uploading an anonymised qualitative dataset to a repository. Enjoyed writing this, & also think sharing these experiences and learnings more in papers is much more helpful than sharing it anecdotally. Fingers crossed!

✨ PREPRINT 📖🤩 "Study Preregistration: A How-To Guide" Written for students, this guide outlines the 'what, why, and how' of preregistration, perceived barriers and their solutions, and 10 top tips to adopting and/or critically evaluating this open research practice. osf.io/preprints/ps...

Introducing RegCheck: a tool which uses Large Language Models to automatically compare preregistered protocols with their corresponding published papers and highlights deviations. @malte.the100.ci @ianhussey.bsky.social @ruben.the100.ci @bjoernhommel.bsky.social regcheck.app

Loving this paper 'Rethinking barriers and enablers'. How many thousands of weak research studies have reduced complex change to 'identifying and addressing barriers and enablers'? Here's how to do better! journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

🚨 Preprint! We combine our recent open dataset of #APC prices with the article counts per journal-year from #OpenAlex to estimate how much the academic community has paid in APCs over the last 5 years. A. $8.349 billion ($8.968 B in 2023 USD) $2.5B in 2023 alone. arxiv.org/abs/2407.16551 #metasci

We're excited to announce a major update to the Transparency and Openness Promotion (TOP) Guidelines—TOP 2025! These guidelines streamline research practices and provide greater clarity around openness in research. The preprint is now available. Your feedback is welcome! www.cos.io/blog/new-pre...

Our* new review of Open Research initiatives in Psychology is preprinted 📖 We identify 187 initiatives to increase awareness & uptake of OR in Psychology and cateogorise these as procedural (tools & resources🛠️), structural (policies, frameworks🏛️) & community (grassroots🤝) *Skubera et al., 2024 👏

Just updated my blog catalog, making it easier to find old posts deevybee.blogspot.com/2012/11/bish...

What does it mean to say ‘preregistration is a plan, not a prison’? In my recent paper on When and How to Deviate From a Preregistration online.ucpress.edu/collabra/art... I explain the value of the plan, but also when to deviate from it. >🧵

My paper 'When and How to Deviate From a Preregistration' is now published at Collabra Psychology. online.ucpress.edu/collabra/art...

The Metascience conference is coming to London! June 30-July 2, 2025

Exciting news: I will be teaching a 4-day summer school on open science this August! The course is for ECRs in the social & behavioural sciences who want to get up to speed with open & reproducible practices and/or learn how to handle specific problems. utrechtsummerschool.nl/courses/data...

My wife has family in Gaza, brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews. I don’t need to tell you how bad things are, and they’re the lucky ones. We want to try to help get them out. Please, if you can, donate and/or share this gofundme link; no amount is too small. gofund.me/6356721f

Today, my term as director of the Psychological Science Accelerator — one of the largest collaborative communities in psychology — ends. Working w/ @psysciacc.bsky.social was very hard work. But it was incredibly meaningful. 🧵on the past 3 years and the future of big team science

Very pleased to share our new paper "A registered report survey of open research practices in psychology departments in the UK and Ireland" 🎉 doi.org/10.1111/bjop... We examined open research practices and self-reported capability, opportunity, and motivation to engage in open research practices.

Recordings of the Royal Society Meeting on the Promises and Pitfalls of Preregistration are up. Day 1: www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNb2... Day 2: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZPh...

My paper "When and How to Deviate from a Preregistration" is now in press at Collabra Psychology. I sincerely hope it will help people to 1) transparently report deviations from their preregistration, and 2) carefully evaluate the consequences of each deviation. osf.io/preprints/ps... #metascience

New blog post! "Preregistration: More Promises than Pitfalls," some thoughts inspired by the recent meeting at the Royal Society. I don't find many pitfalls with preregistration itself, but there are plenty of problems with how we talk about it. getsyeducated.substack.com/p/preregistr...

What a great blog post! 'With preregistration, and open science practices in general, folks seem to feel free to fire off half-baked criticisms, raising issues that have already been fully addressed.'

Most of the talks of the 6th Perspectives on Scientific Error conference are now online: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... All these talks, from across scientific disciplines, were so interesting! I’ll link to each talk in this thread: 👇
