[Admin] Was fördert und hemmt Vertrauen in Wissenschaft? Begrüßt unsere neue Kuratorin @marlephie.bsky.social! realscientistsde.blogspot.com/2025/02/was-...

Our group has been hard at work to release a new tool: The Data Rescue Tracker. The tool aims to provide a consolidated overview of who is downloading which dataset from which government websites. Please share! www.datarescueproject.org/data-rescue-...

Investigating fraud and errors in health research is obviously laudable. But we need to maintain high methodological standards. That means scrutinising each others’ work, and calling each other out when we err. There are so many errors in error detection. A few recurring errors:

After my first year as EiC of Collabra: Psychology, I wrote an editorial with my reflections so far. Featured are some observations about submission triage, author geolocation data, and a registered revisions experiment. @collabrapsychology.bsky.social @improvingpsych.org doi.org/10.1525/coll...

How can a company that takes so much money for their product have such a poorly designed, buggy, and undocumented API? So far, I'd always choose SoSciSurvey >> Qualtrics #SoSciSky

I'm against citation-counting as a performance metric, but let's be real, when has being cited not felt like an accomplishment? In other news: I just learned that @nicebread.bsky.social and my p-hacking paper was among the 5 most cited in RSOS in 2023!!! 😱😱😱

After struggling with Qualtrics for hours today, I have to ask: What survey software do you use if you want to embed lots of custom JavaScript code? Is there any software that doesn't make this an absolute pain? #SciSky

Hallo Bluesky! Wir sind die Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. #DFG Als Selbstverwaltungsorganisation der #Wissenschaft in Deutschland fördern wir erkenntnisgeleitete #Forschung. Hier erhaltet Ihr Infos u.a. zu Förderangeboten, Ausschreibungen und Anträgen. Wir freuen uns auf den Austausch!

In a study that may surprise some or may surprise no one... Participants don't read consent forms. They spend about 8 seconds on them, older people are more likely to have read , but really 6-17% could have even skimmed. Ethical & practical issues abound. osf.io/npa3b/downlo... #metasky #phdsky

Can someone with editorial experience explain to me why manuscript review requests always come in batches? Haven't reviewed anything for 3 months, and now I'm at 5 reviews since the start of the year... #SciSky

Do you know any early career researchers in the UK who have contributed something special to improve research practices? The call for the 2025 Dorothy Bishop award is open now! Nominations close on 26 January 2025. www.ukrn.org/2024/12/12/t...

PsyArXiv has a new streamlined preprint submission workflow: blog.psyarxiv.com/2024/12/02/p... Consider submitting your work to PsyArXiv (or any other free preprint server) for increased visibility. More people will be able to find and read it.

COS and @forrt.bsky.social are working together to increase discoverability and usability of replication evidence. Want to contribute? FORRT is hiring paid Data Curators to help expand its replication database! Learn more: www.cos.io/blog/cos-...

✨ So proud of this special issue and deeply grateful for my wonderful co-editors, all contributions at the workshop by participants, and the amazing resulting papers in the special issue. Check it out! You will not be disappointed, I promise 😊

To celebrate this gem of a book by @statsteph.bsky.social, @ivelasq3.bsky.social and Rebecca Powell on complex survey data with #RStats and the #tidyverse, we are giving away one copy to a lucky winner. To enter, re-post this and follow me by Nov 24. Not affiliated with bsky.

IN PRESS: Discovering Statistics Using JASP

This paper by @mariogollwitzer.bsky.social, @stephannuding.bsky.social, @rolandimhoff.bsky.social, et al may become one of the most important of all behavioral science during/since 2020. Psychological research *was no less rigorous* during pandemic; may even have improved some.

We are launching MetaROR, a peer review service for research on research, about an hour from now! researchonresearch.org/project/meta... You could join us online by registering for our ongoing conference (low free or free) here: agbarnett.github.io/aimos.confer...

Interesting read! 📒 It seems like, yet again, replication is to some extent predictable. But what does this mean for choosing replication targets? Should we really go for the "easy wins" and hunt for yet another significant result?

🚨 TOMORROW 🚨 Join us for the 2nd meeting of the @rladies.org online book club (happygitwithr.com) Tuesday November 19 @ 17:00 CET (11:00 ET) Sign-up: lnkd.in/eB2zYsKU We will discuss the parts Installation and Connect Git, GitHub, RStudio of the book. Everyone is welcome! #rladies #rstats #git

Alder Hey Research Ambassador scheme 2024/5 Any school with year 12 pupils - if you have pupils (2) who might be interested then please get in touch at [email protected] Pupils get training in data analysis, deliver a research project (inc authorship on the paper) and work experience*

Interesting looking position open with some colleagues of mine (Wiebke Bleidorn / Ven Popov) here in Zurich. 3-Year Post-Doc (100%) in Individual Differences and Assessment / Computational Modelling www.psychology.uzh.ch/en/areas/sob...

This is an amazing resource! Definitely bookmarking this 👇🏼

Horrified by what comes next. Absolutely horrified.

Chatting with a student today: Them: "Sorry I haven't done my Eugenics training yet" Me: 😱😱😱🫣 Turns out, market research is important, and Epigeum (the name of our research ethics training platform) is... not memorable 🙈

First time 🎃Halloween🎃 in the UK and the scariest thing happened: 💀💀💀WE RAN OUT OF SWEETS 💀💀💀

🔥Hot Take of today: It doesn't matter how long it has been taught that way, if something is factually wrong, it should be changed in the #statistics curriculum!
