I’d like to take this one step further: poor communication & hype often already start in sci papers. “Because this study was only observational, no causal conclusions can be drawn” followed by a discussion of policy implications and theorizing based on a causal conclusion.

I generally recommend people to compare themselves to their past selves (i.e., have mastery goals). But if you *must* compare yourself to others, do it well and enter resources, social support, and random luck as covariates in your model.

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....

The journal of Sports and Sciences will now require mandatory sample size estimation and justification www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... This is an excellent step that will improve scientific papers. I expect many other journals will follow.

We just updated our preprint describing our 'ESDist' R package for calculating field-specific effect size distributions, which are useful for both interpretation & study planning. In this version we added options that can account for publication bias and effect size precision doi.org/10.31234/osf...

Proudly presenting the (for now) final version of "Why experiments work." To share the materials in a slightly more professional manner, I added a "Resources" page to my website: juliarohrer.com/resources/. That was long overdue anyway; now there's also a curated list of my papers and blog posts.

New paper by former lab visitor Max Ditroilo, "Exploratory research in sport and exercise science". We propose narrower definitions where hypothesis tests are confirmatory when error rates are controlled, and exploratory when not, and give reporting advice. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Had a blast at the Cognitive Science Arena last weekend, a conference tailored to ECRs. Such creative and important studies! In my keynote, I talked about the 4 Step Robustness Check, where I stressed the importance of verifying results 🧮 before replicating them. Slides: osf.io/7xqtw #metascience

#4MwinterSchool @lakens.bsky.social asks: Which research is valuable enough to do well? Which skills do you need to learn as a PhD student to do research well? How much time would you need to develop sufficient expertise in each skill?

Inspiring work by @sajedehra.bsky.social et al. on identifying the various benefits of coordination in science, and providing a better language to talk about what coordination in science actually *is*. I personally long to one day be part of a truly coordinated research line.

My (out of date) list of low cost #openaccess journals in movement sciences & related fields (seems like a good time to share this) Last updated 2 years ago so some entries may no longer be correct. Please add comments with corrections & journals not on the list 🧪 docs.google.com/spreadsheets...
