1/7 🤯 STOP! When someone points, your brain doesn't just look—it strategizes. Our new study reveals that Joint Attention is a complex calculation of social intent and space! Kudos to undergraduate researchers Isabel Blackie & Anisah Islam for leading this work. 👇 doi.org/10.1098/rsos...

MetaROR, a platform for reviews of research on research, is a success! We have published 24 sets of reviews and have 16 submissions in process. MetaROR now has 9 partners - these are journals that agree to use our reviews when authors submit to them. metaror.org #metascience #openaccess

After submitting a FOIA request UKRI, I obtained success rates by three grant call scheme and I can only say that I am disheartened by the results: - AHRC Responsive Mode 2025: 2% - ESRC New Investigator Grant 2025: 1% - ESRC Research Grant Round 2025: 1%

How to create data dictionaries for all your reserch projects!

Science-integrity project will root out bad medical papers ‘and tell everyone’ Thrilled to announce this new $900,000 project headed by @jamesheathers.bsky.social

🔔‼️ New papers alert In these papers, @lakens.bsky.social takes a deep dive into the two major crises in psychology. Concerns about replicability, theorizing, relevance, generalizability, and methodology are discussed. A must-read for every psychology researcher! Available in #OA 👇👇

A reminder that at University College Dublin we are hosting @lakens.bsky.social from Eindhoven University of Technology. On Wed 4th of June, 12-13, C006 Health Sciences, Prof. Lakens will give a talk on open science and will discuss why it is worth improving our research practices. All welcome!

It was not impossible, but it was not easy either. One variable, for example: Joy-Gaba and Nosek (2010) had (if memory serves) >50X the original sample size. Schmidt and Nosek (2010) had >1000x the original sample size. The increased precision was not necessarily appreciated by reviewers.

Can you imagine that in 2010 if you worked in psychology you could not publish a replication study that yielded a null result if your life depended on it? You might think: So how did they identify Type 1 errors in the literature? They didn't! >>>
