On my way back from a great #SciSci workshop at @mi3lab.bsky.social, where I was happy to present our work on a computational psychology of science. Fruitful exchange with scholars from different fields - many thanks to @justinsulik.bsky.social and @euroscisci.bsky.social for making this happen!

🔥 Are you working on next-gen or alternative social media platforms like #Bluesky or #Mastodon? 👇🏻 This @icwsm.bsky.social workshop is for you! 😎 📢 nextgensocial-workshop.github.io 📚 We solicit research, position, demo, and dataset paper submissions! 📆 Submissions: March 31, 2025

Wahlkampf der Emotionen: Wir haben knapp 8.000 Sätze von Merz, Scholz, Habeck und Weidel KI-gestützt ausgewertet, nach Thema und Emotion - und sind auf teils überraschende Ergebnisse gekommen. @spiegel.de www.spiegel.de/politik/bund...

🌟 We have launched our preregistration platform PreReg! 🌟 PreReg guides researchers through all the steps of pre-registration and now offers an even clearer structure. #Preregistration #OpenScience #Psychology leibniz-psychology.org/en/news/deta...

Große Plattformen müssen der Wissenschaft Zugang gewähren, damit diese systemische Risiken wie zum Beispiel Wahlbeeinflussung untersuchen kann. Musks Plattform X war dem nicht nachgekommen – und hat nun vor der Landgericht in Berlin verloren. netzpolitik.org/2025/bundest...

Calling all #psych researchers!📢 We’re conducting a quick survey on #preregistration and will use your feedback to improve @zpid.bsky.social's service PreReg! If you haven't participated yet, we'd greatly appreciate your feedback! Thanks!✨ Link: www.soscisurvey.de/zpid_prereg/ #OpenScience

👉 People still trust scientists 👈 @marlephie.bsky.social from ZPID is part of a 68-country survey Info, DOI and links to @naturehumbehav.bsky.social & to the (germanspeaking) article with @lauramkoenig.bsky.social at InMind: ➡️ leibniz-psychology.org/en/news/deta...

🌟 From now on we are active with three pages at Bluesky! 🌟 @zpid.bsky.social @zpidjobs.bsky.social @psychopengold.bsky.social #OpenScience #leavingX

We have a feeling you'll be interested in this one. Nature is keen to find out how scientists are using Bluesky and whether it has become their go-to social-media platform. Take the survey! 🧪

Calling all #psych researchers!📢 We’re conducting a quick survey on #preregistration & would love your input on what features an ideal prereg platform should have. We will use your feedback to improve @zpid.bsky.social's service PreReg! Thanks!✨ Link: www.soscisurvey.de/zpid-prereg/ #OpenScience

✨ New LLM paper ✨ > Open-source LLMs perform well in text annotation tasks > Fine-tuned open-source LLMs outperform zero-shot GPT-4 > Fine-tuning beats few-shot training with modest amount of annotated data w/ @malizadeh.bsky.social @maelkubli.bsky.social et al. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Last update in 2024 🚀 for PsychTopics, our #Rstats #ShinyApp that automatically identifies research topics in psychology from DE, AT, CH & LUX Data source: PSYNDEX database of @zpid.bsky.social Method: RollingLDA #TopicModeling (aclanthology.org/2022.sdp-1.2) 👉 abitter.shinyapps.io/psychtopics

"@science.org and Retraction Watch’s investigation suggests authors, journals, and institutions all benefit from the scheme, which floods the literature with poor-quality publications and casts doubt on metrics of scholarly output and impact."

What's behind the link between conspiracy theories and radicalization? In a new preprint, Jan-Willem van Prooijen, @profsanderlinden.bsky.social, Bettina Rottweiler, and I review the research on this link. Read more at osf.io/preprints/ps...

Do you work with text data? Then our ✨topiclabels✨ #Rstats package may come in handy. Using open #LLM, it automatically assigns a topic label to a bag of words. It also works with all popular #TopicModeling packages! 👉 cran.r-project.org/package=topi... 👉 github.com/PetersFritz/...

My dear colleague @cspetrule.bsky.social is about to present our bibliometric study on translational psychol. treatment at #DGPs2024 in Seminarraum 1. We applied #SentenceEmbeddings and #MachineLearning to find relevant papers. Find the preprint here: 👉https://doi.org/10.23668/psycharchives.15204

Are researchers social media influencers? Can they change fellow scholars' behavior? And have they shaped the academic #TwitterMigration in 2022? Find out at #DGPs2024 in our talk on Tuesday, 10 a.m. in Hörsaal 27 of @univie.ac.at! PreReg 👉 doi.org/10.23668/psy...

Delighted to have guest edited a tutorial paper on interactive data apps for #OpenData in the latest issue of PsychOpen's Europe's Journal of Psychology! A promising approach with #NLP and #python to facilitating data reuse in psychology and #OpenScience 👉 doi.org/10.5964/ejop...

At the @psychscience.bsky.social journal AMPPS, we publish tutorials and have dedicated tutorial reviewers. TRs are go through all the code and each step of a tutorial, then provide feedback about whether it all works as it should. Grad students and post-docs are welcome to be TRs. Join us?

Influence Flowers This looks more like a peacock’s tail than a flower to me, but these “influence flowers” are an interesting way to see who’s influenced your work the most (blue arrows) and who you’ve had the most influence on (orange arrows). influencemap.cmlab.dev #SocialPsyc #AcademicSky 🧪

📢🚨 Our study on the Twitter migration to Mastodon is out now on ScientificReports! ✍🏼 Blogpost: communities.springernature.com/posts/get-ou... 📚 Paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🔬 The migration is a unique example of collective behavioral change documented through large-scale digital traces.

had a great time presenting my side-quest on #fragmentation in emerging fields of research at the ASIS&T METSTI 23 in London. the density of high quality research in the room, the engaging presentations and the great ZPID team led by @abitter.bsky.social - simply fantastic! 👻

On my way back from the METSTI 23 workshop in London 🚄 Thanks @idorsch.bsky.social + team for organizing this event - most interesting talks and inspiring scholars! I am honored that our study on the academic #TwitterMigration won a best paper award - and a Bluesky overlay 😄
