I'll be presenting my recent findings on post-publication critique policies and prevalence in psychology October 17 (10am CEST/7pm AEST) as part of a series of webinars on peer review hosted by @reproducibilitea.org. Register below to attend :)

Public appreciation post for @juliabottesini.com! The community doesn't know the great lengths Julia has gone to restabilize operations at PsyArXiv. We're all incredibly lucky to have her. Many, many hours and a great deal of thought/care have gone into the task. Thank you, Julia!

Great to see this out! Only ~23% of psychology journals have a post-publication critique format (e.g., letter to the editor). Some impose strict limits (e.g., 400 words & 4 weeks to submit). Critiques are rarely published — in two random samples of 101 empirical articles we found only 1 critique.

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

🗳️ SIPS Executive Committee Elections are now open!🗳️ If you are a SIPS member, you should now have received your ballot to vote for the 3 new Executive Committee members. If you are a member and haven't received it yet, check your spam folder! 📅 Voting ends on September 21, 2025

Thanks to our amazing moderators working on this 24/7, we are now 50% done with the PsyArXiv backlog! 🎉 For all our PsyArXiv users, thank you for your patience. If you would like to help us, here are some tips to help your next preprint sail through moderation: #PsychSciSky

Join us today at 4:00pm AEST to hear about two initiatives designed to reduce statistical errors before publication. @aimosinc.bsky.social @ausrepro.bsky.social

‼️Cool new paper‼️ Finds that journal data policies in psychology boost sharing statements to ~100%, but only about half of datasets are complete, understandable, reusable. Open: open.lnu.se/index.php/me...

Have you ever seen this call for SIPS EC nominees and thought "it's probably not for me"? Don't be so sure! If you think you might be interested but have questions, feel free to DM or email me, I'll do my best to answer them :) #PsychSciSky

Do you know a good candidate for the SIPS leadership role? Or maybe you are such a person? Then, nominate them (or yourself) to be a member of the SIPS Executive Committee! 📅 The nominations are open until August 24, 2025, at 11:59 PM US Pacific Time, so wait no further!

The call for proposals is now up for our long awaited #AIMOS2025 conference in Sydney this November: aimos-inc.github.io/aimos.confer...

Experimentology is out today!!! A group of us wrote a free online textbook for experimental methods, available at experimentology.io - the idea was to integrate open science into all aspects of the experimental workflow from planning to design, analysis, and writing.

My editorial on how journals can earn trust. We often use journal names as proxies for quality. This is bad bc it’s not valid. But it could be. Editors could make journal name a valid signal. And we could place value on journals that show us how they do that. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

It's Transgender Day of Visibility, and I have mixed emotions. So I wrote something about it 😊 (this is the first in a series; the next one is in a few weeks and is about disinformation campaigns) pursuit.unimelb.edu.au/articles/my-...

Only very sparse details have emerged so far from the meeting of Royal Society Fellows tonight: www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

My profound thanks to all 3494 members of the scientific community who signed my open letter calling on the Royal Society to stand up for its values in respect of concerns raised by the statements and actions of one of its fellows, Elon Musk. occamstypewriter.org/scurry/2025/... 1/2

Last few days if people wish add their voice to the call for the Royal Society to stand up for its values. The meeting of the Fellowship to discuss these matters takes place on Mon 03 March. occamstypewriter.org/scurry/2025/...

Call for nominations! I know many great people who would do a wonderful job in this position. I also probably don't know many great people who would do a wonderful job as well-- help spread the word! Happy to answer questions about EiC at AMPPS with @psychscience.bsky.social . tinyurl.com/ykpzvp7e

“Publication integrity research needs to be recognized as a discipline in its own right, worthy of grant support” www.science.org/content/arti...

“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”

Many #researchintegrity sleuths are volunteers with little financial support for their often-daunting work to uncover #scientificfraud. One of the most prominent, Elisabeth Bik, has now provided money to change that. @elisabethbik.bsky.social @science.org www.science.org/content/arti...

Members of the U.K. and international scientific community are invited to sign to show their support: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
