AI makes continuous reproducibility and robustness testing trivial. What happens to science under new levels of scrutiny and stress-testing by default? Some thoughts on how this could play out, informed by watching open science play out over the last decade.

Nog eens bevestigd: een meta-analyse (11 mln mensen) vindt geen verband tussen inkomensongelijkheid en welzijn of mentale gezondheid. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Ik denk dat we inderdaad onderschatten hoe vaak ook mannen slachtoffer zijn van partnergeweld (doch minder dan vrouwen). Wat cijfers op een rijtje: * 16% vrouwen en 9% mannen in België geeft aan ooit slachtoffer te zijn geweest van fysiek of sexueel partnergeweld * 30-32% van psychologisch geweld.

This reminds me of this cool paper by Calcagno et al. that showed that 75% of all published articles in biology are published in the first journal they are submitted to. I guess biologists are (or at least used to be) quite well calibrated: www.science.org/doi/full/10....

New preprint! So, what's a multiverse analysis good for anyway?> With @jessicahullman.bsky.social and @statmodeling.bsky.social juliarohrer.com/wp-content/u...

Vandaag sta ik in De Morgen met een pleidooi tegen de onzin van remigratie.

Looking for help from the #psychology #metascience communities! This www.theoryfinder.com/theory-repos... online repository lists more than 200 theories (*), mostly from psychology. The authors' goal is to foster the use of theory ... I'd like some vetting of these theories. How do we do this?

Ik heb geen toegang tot Apache, maar we bespraken de opiniepaper van Guest et al. deze week in de leesgroep van onze faculteit. Dat leverde een boeiend gesprek op, maar we vonden toch allemaal dat het maar een zwakke paper was – ja, het is een opiniestuk, maar toch een wetenschappelijk.

A big moment for #Accounting Open! 🔓 Milestones unlocked: 🔥 My opening editorial is now out: "Shaping the Future of Accounting Research: Less, Better, More Interesting" 👉 lnkd.in/eyKr-T4K #AccountingResearch #OpenAccess #AccountingCommunity

This is one of the things that really annoys me – already from when I was still a student myself.

Think of how much better off we'd be if every established researcher got in the habit of writing papers entitled "Second thoughts on [thing I'm famous for]"

I think Colin is 100% right here. Obviously, fake data, fake citations, etc. are a problem, but I see no reason why they'd be more problematic if authors used AI. Not only does that seem the only workable stance, I also think it's the only principled stance that makes sense.

Referees make the journal system work. They are selfless in volunteering their time to ensure that our science continues to progress. All of the great referees out there please know that editors recognize your hard work and tireless effort. We do not always say it, but we do! Thank you.

Reading this 2013 book – not much new at this point anymore – really makes me wonder which books I should be reading now rather than 10+ years from now ... #science #books #causality

Interesting paper on peer review bsky.app/profile/last... I think a variation is possible where a journal would actually experiment with such an approach to decide whether to publish a paper or not. Focus is only on evaluation then but can be combined with improvement if we want that.

"Simpson's gender-equality paradox" surely deserve some award for best title 👑 The gender-equality paradox seems really central to some narrative people have constructed (and successfully sold). I absolutely wouldn't be surprised if it turned out 100% confounding.> www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

A bit sad to see an online meeting/training on ”How to make your research reproducible”, seeing canceled 'due to too few registrations.' :-\

As everyone is talking about this now, my 2cents: the development of these items is weird (resulting in issues as the one Eiko mentions here). Compare this with the recent work by @petervickers.bsky.social [statement: Science has put it beyond reasonable doubt that COVID-19 is caused by a virus].

Honest people don’t lie. Or do they? Liars aren’t honest. Or are they? One puzzling conundrum in contemporary politics is that politicians who seem to be estranged from facts and evidence are nonetheless considered honest by their followers. 1/n

I think many of the many-analyst studies are rightly critisized for design issues - notably, participants lacking required domain knowlegde. However, I don't think that's all there is to it. I think much of the observed variability is also due to a lack of precise theory and measurement.

We have an open call for #editors and #reviewers tiny.cc/9beb001 We need a diverse team of editors and reviewers. The broader our perspectives, the better our science! So please help spread the word—let’s build this together! 🔥 #AccountingResearch #OpenAccess #CallForEditors #AccountingCommunity

Have a look at the mission and vision statement to see what we think is needed to better the field of #accounting #research and how we hope to contribute to that: tiny.cc/uy8b001

🚀 Big news: #Accounting #Open is live! 🚀 I'm excited that Accounting Open, a new open-access journal dedicated to high-quality accounting research, has officially been launched by Elsevier! I've been appointed as the editor-in-chief. www.sciencedirect.com/journal/acco...

I’m sorry but this is one of my biggest pet peeves. If you want academica to exist, academics CANNOT be held responsible for making sure every publication and talk is comprehensible to someone with a middle school education in their field. That is an impossible ask and you are blaming the victim

📣 New paper alert: An Alpha in Affordable Housing? A collaboration with Matthijs Korevaar and Stijn Van Nieuwerburgh. We show that low-rent/low-income housing earns the highest returns for landlords in the US, Belgium and The Netherlands. Please share to convince my coauthors to join Bluesky :-)

This interesting recent paper on Goodhart's law and related descriptions (unified by the authors as "proxy failures") seems to fit: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

We've had a paper reviewed by ERROR, which has concluded we had a "major error that affects a core conclusion" Few comments on the conclusion and the process in general 1/n

The discussion ending at this tweet is very smart on both sides ( @lugaricano.bsky.social and @shengwuli.bsky.social ), reasonably spicy, and fun to read.

'While we can smell and taste differences we are usually unable to say with any confidence that the quality of one wine is better than another. The quality of most wines is indistintuishable from others.' www.cambridge.org/core/journal... Cc @andreastirez.bsky.social

How the first few months of my sabbatical have been? Well, a picture is worth a thousand words, they say. :-)

One of the best things about a sabbatical is just that bit more extra time to read things you otherwise would't, including things you see people randomly discuss in a conversation about who knows what. So, thanks @devezer.bsky.social for the ht because I really enjoyed reading this one!

Whatever the hour, we should all just cut down on the e-mails we sent. And on our obsessive e-mail checking. Simply not checking e-mails at all during certain days was surely on of the better descisions I took in recent years (more efficient, less stressfull - there's nothing that can't wait 24h.)

As this paper is doing the rounds it seems useful to point to this paper onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... Among other things, it makes it clear that theory matters, but also shows the usefulness of peer feedback.

I created this starter pack for accounting researchers on Bluesky. If you’re interested in following people doing interesting research in financial accounting, capital markets, management accounting, auditing, et cetera, start here! go.bsky.app/FqBLFAZ

Very happy our study on investor reactions to apologies for financial misconduct is now published in AOS. We offer robust evidence that investors react more negatively to apologies than denials. Much more interesting things in the paper! Free access here: t.co/IVtyralwEN
