I'm glad to be speaking at this meeting about research integrity, which will flow nicely into the @aimosinc.bsky.social conference later that week, with a broader remit into metascience, openness, and transparency!

link.springer.com/article/10.1... - this tracks my impressions of the field over the past 8 years. (yes this is research on research on research)

Very pleased to see this positive experience with our publish, review, curate platform, @metaror.bsky.social: upstream.force11.org/response-to-...

In this post, I argue against university rankings (@aidybarnett.bsky.social) and assessment regimes that reward quantity over quality. Let's slow down, correct existing errors (@jabyrnesci.bsky.social), and engage in better peer review (eg, @metaror.bsky.social): theconversation.com/reliable-sci...

More dangerous than DEIA (which is a good thing), are lackey hires (inept, often white men, who don't understand how and when to use messaging apps).

Wonderful work here from Lucy Montgomery, @emiliacarabell.bsky.social, and Karl Huang laying out the dark side of academic publishing, as well as the light (including a kind shout out to @metaror.bsky.social)

There's a profound disconnect between the threshold courts use for determining whether someone is an expert (such that they can give expert testimony), which is basically qualifications in a field, and how psychologists think about it, which as we say here, is observable performance.

@metaror.bsky.social cuts out the publishers, providing open peer review, with a brief editorial summing up. Two recent examples are reviews (metaror.org/kotahi/artic...) of @jamesheathers.bsky.social's piece estimating 1/7 papers are fake and

Proud to be on this great panel to talk about the g2i problem - I'll be talking about producing better group/framework evidence through systematic reviews. With @teneille.bsky.social et al at www.gironaevidenceweek.com

#Metascience2025 will be the biggest meeting in the field to date. We also want it to be one of the most inclusive. Travel bursaries now available for those who need support to attend. More details here: metascience.info/funding/ @cos.io @briannosek.bsky.social @rorinstitute.bsky.social

We're happy to announce MetaROR has joined Bluesky! We're a community-owned platform for open peer review in metaresearch. Using the innovative Publish-Review-Curate model, we're transforming how metaresearch is published & reviewed, making the process faster and more open. Find us on metaror.org

For those interested in improving the way science is used in law, we have a cool special issue of Forensic Science International: Synergy (www.sciencedirect.com/special-issu...) out. It follows from a conference at the ANU called Rethinking scientific communication in courts.

Seminar alert: Janice Graham will discuss “Leaky Vaccines in Public Health Governance” at the Charles Perkins Centre, Uni of Sydney as part of their Something EPIC seminar series. the seminar will also be live streamed. Check out the QR code for all the details!

Call for papers deadline is Feb 7!

Great post from @aimosinc.bsky.social and @rorinstitute.bsky.social colleagues (among others) about the Scopus and Web of Science decision to delist elife. upstream.force11.org/criteria-for...

Good old benefit and feasibility. 0/5 now for me-led projects at the ARC.

MetaROR (metaror.org) is now officially launched - rigorous, community-owned, and transparent peer review for metaresearch. @aimosinc.bsky.social and @rorinstitute.bsky.social

“Undergraduates need touch points with metaresearch from day 1”, Joan Leach, director of ANU’s centre for public awareness of science giving today’s plenary for AIMOS2024. We agree!

Excited to be in Canberra for AIMOS 24 agbarnett.github.io/aimos.confer... I gave a talk this morning on ‘where next for metascience?’ — slides online here: rori.figshare.com/articles/pre... Thanks to Adrian Barnett & all at @aimosinc.bsky.social for the opportunity to join you 🙏🏻
