When I published that blog, I didn't know I'd become social psych's Judas. Turns out questioning our field's methods is a great way to lose friends! I spent years plunged in a despondency. Ten years later, I'm still skeptical, just grayer and at peace. Come join my midlife crisis.

Gelman argues we collectively should re-review the most cited articles in our field. @statmodeling.bsky.social do you know we at @error.reviews are already doing a version of this in psychology?

Enjoying this new podcast, Normal curves: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2eM... Even though I know a lot about p-hacking, this episode was amusing, taught me some new things, and was also the perfect length for my daily walk. Not sure if hosts Kristin Sainani or Regina Nuzzo are on Bluesky? #statistics

i look forward to reading this, but initial scan suggests it’s tinkering with a process that might benefit from more radical upheaval.

Today some of the leading economists released a report on how to improve the publication and peer review process in our profession. It is great! www.econometricsociety.org/uploads/docu...

Scientific publisher Elsevier made a £1 billion profit last year "driven by volume growth, with article submissions growing very strongly across the portfolio, particularly in pay-to-publish" www.researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-worl...

Our opinion article "Open science needs a standardized data format: Suggestions for the field of #psychoneuroendocrinology" is now available online! 🗞️ We will discuss the topic with the community at the upcoming #ISPNE meeting, which takes place online this Thursday and Friday. More infos to come!

Since this piece was published, we formed a task force called NODES (Neuroendocrinology Open Data Exchange Standard) to develop a standardized data format for psychoneuroendocrinology. Very happy to share that the initiative recently received a #YERUN #OpenScience Award! 🔥

We are pleased to announce UCL's first Replication games! UCL colleagues, grab your opportunity to be part of a team and join this one-day event that brings together researchers to collaborate on reproducing and replicating papers! Its a great opportunity. More info: https://buff.ly/3ECE4bo

#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?

💡 TU Delft’s MOOC Open Science: Sharing Your Research with the World is a self-paced, six-week course (March 5–December 16, 2025) that helps researchers enhance visibility, manage Open Data, apply FAIR principles and engage in Citizen Science. 🔗 Details: opusproject.eu/openscience-... #OpenScience

Underpowered studies and exaggerated effects: A replication and re‐evaluation of the magnitude of anchoring effects onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... "Our replication results reject the size of the original estimated effects. We find an estimated effect of 3.4% (95% CI [−3.4%, 10%])."

Call for nominations! I know many great people who would do a wonderful job in this position. I also probably don't know many great people who would do a wonderful job as well-- help spread the word! Happy to answer questions about EiC at AMPPS with @psychscience.bsky.social . tinyurl.com/ykpzvp7e

Elisabeth Bik has donated her $200k Einstein Foundation Award to create a fund to train and support research integrity investigators

Great thread on job openings around the world in science. Both academic and non-academic positions.

PhD students in social sciences studying "metascience" and AI: This looks like an *AMAZING* opportunity. Fully funded research postdoc that can be housed at whatever university you can find an appropriate mentor. sloan.org/programs/dig...

“Publication integrity research needs to be recognized as a discipline in its own right, worthy of grant support” www.science.org/content/arti...

PhD opening in the UK: cognitive, computational, and sociocultural basis of pro-environmental decision-making www.birmingham.ac.uk/research/cen...

Nice to see this www.science.org/content/arti...

I'm seeking expressions of interest from nonprofit orgs to take over the Open Access Tracking Project and the open-source software on which it runs. Details in this Google doc: bit.ly/TransferOATP Contact me <[email protected]> if you have any questions or any level of interest. #OpenAccess

In game theory, we often assume that people only interact in one game at a time. In a new paper, we explore theoretically and experimentally how people cooperate when they engage in two games concurrently, either with the same partner or with different partners, www.nature.com/articles/s41...

APS invites nominations for Editor(s)-in-Chief of Clinical Psychological Science #ClinicalScience #Psychology Learn more and submit names by March 7 www.psychologicalscience.org/publications...

I knew publication bias in political science was bad; I didn't know it was this bad. "98.8% of abstracts report non-null results compared to only 16.9% reporting null findings." This is bad.

"fees may prevent researchers from vulnerable and underprivileged groups from accessing multiple professional benefits offered by learned societies in ecology and evolution. This includes postdoctoral researchers, who should receive more support" royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

"Can synthetic survey participants substitute for humans in global policy research?" - we answer this question in our new article published in @bescipol.bsky.social #AI #Policy @lsepbs.bsky.social journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Did you ever wonder how much you can trust your Bayes Factor estimates? Klaus Oberauer, @frederikaust.com and I did and investigated variance, bias, and computational costs for estimating Bayes Factors via bridgesampling and the Savage-Dickey density ratio. osf.io/preprints/ps...

if you're studying at @charlesuni.bsky.social and wish to spend Tuesday mornings discussing morality and taboo topics, check out our syllabus inspired by @jayvanbavel.bsky.social, Pinker, and Dershowitz. You can find more info and submit a short motivation letter at forms.gle/XzaGhtVjPDsR...

The summary of this is: Do not give your book to a publisher. You will not make any considerable money (even the highest amounts are not worth it imo), you will need to do more work than if you self-publish (formatting, references, get re-use rights) and less people will read what you write.

Very glad to see the outcome of this collaboration between @cos.io and #MetaROR. A significant step forward in strengthening infrastructures for preprinting and publish-review-curate! @rorinstitute.bsky.social @aimosinc.bsky.social @cwts.nl

🚀 New on OSF: DOI Versioning for Preprints! This feature enables researchers to manage preprint updates, transparently track changes & show version history. This aligns with community-driven models like MetaROR’s Publish, Review, Curate for a more open peer review process: www.cos.io/blog/doi-ver...

Thrilled that our paper with @manvir.bsky.social is covered on @peez.bsky.social's great podcast Very Bad Wizzard!! Listen here (starting at ∼31 min): verybadwizards.com/episode/epis... Paper: drive.google.com/file/d/1Xjcf...

We surpassed $1 million in donations in 2024! 🎉 Last year, nearly 1,000 Giving Multiplier donors collectively accomplished a lot, such as providing disease-preventing treatments to tens of thousands of children, mitigating animal cruelty, and combatting extreme climate change. Thank you!

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...
