Let us start 2025 in a positive mood: here are 10 methods things researchers can worry *less* about in 2025

Extremely niche shitpost

Concerns raised about an RCT of Vitamin K2 in JAMA Internal Medicine: www.pubpeer.com/publications...

‘Anyone can do this’: Sleuths publish a toolkit for post-publication review @averyorrall.bsky.social reports on an initiative from @reeserichardson.bsky.social and colleagues

Apparent NCI director candidate @weldeiry.bsky.social wants ‘open, respectful’ post-publication peer review while promoting anonymous site that calls sleuths a ‘mob’

Join me at the University of Witten/Herdecke for research on meta scientific topics, replication work or other fun things :-) as well as teaching some IMO wonderful students short.sg/j/56902143

@cosig.net coverage in Nature news! Collection of Open Science Integrity Guides Anyone can do post-publication peer review. Anyone can be a steward of the scientific literature. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

What a throwback to 2010s replication discourse. Reminder: this was shown not to be the case in either cancer biology or psychology. Science is self-correcting only when we actively correct it. www.cos.io/rpcb www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Pro tip, folks: if you make a figure for a publication, don’t just hand the copyright over to the publisher. Post it on OSF first and then give yourself permission to use it in the first publication and then all future publications. That way, no permissions issues.

@ianhussey.mmmdata.io is expressing optimism about improving research.

God above, there's more www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

My guide on GRIM and GRIMMER will be added to COSIG soon. Very cool set of open resources, take a look or get involved!

Anyone can do post-publication peer review. Anyone can be a steward of the scientific literature. Anyone can do forensic metascience. Anyone can sleuth. That's why we are launching COSIG: the Collection of Open Science Integrity Guides, an open source resource for all of the above. cosig.net

I am beyond stoked to announce COSIG, the Collection of Open Science Integrity Guides! Have you always wanted to do post-publication peer review/forensic metascience/sleuthing? Start here! cosig.net

never watched static on the tv i’m saving it for a low point in my life

Science-integrity project will root out bad medical papers ‘and tell everyone’ Thrilled to announce this new $900,000 project headed by @jamesheathers.bsky.social

@jamesheathers.bsky.social has won $900k in philanthropic funding to establish The Medical Evidence Project, which will find flawed medical research that costs lives. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The following article has been retracted on the basis of my @pubpeer.com comments. Zemestani & Mozaffari (2020) “Acceptance and commitment therapy for the treatment of depression in persons with physical disability: a randomized controlled trial” journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

The original sin of many scholars is treating methods as a mere nuisance rather than an integral part of the scientific process.

Francesca Gino: "I am deeply sad and disappointed that the University has concluded as it has. But now that this process is over, I am free to show why its conclusion is so clearly wrong. I will continue the fight and do everything in my power to right this wrong." www.linkedin.com/posts/france...

@shuhbillskee.bsky.social, Niklas Johannes & I finally submitted our critique of a "new paradigm" in social media effects research for peer-review at Meta-Psychology. If you're interested in reviewing, please submit a review to [email protected] or e.g. prereview.org, or reply here.

We thank Reviewer 2 for their helpful feedback which has greatly improved the paper

Harvard university’s top governing board, the Harvard Corporation, decided this month to revoke Francesca Gino’s tenure and end her employment at Harvard Business School www.wgbh.org/news/educati...

The work of NGS, says Tim Burch, the executive director of the National Society of Professional Surveyors, “is kind of like oxygen. You don’t know you need it until it’s not there."

Scientists like to blame poorly communicated results on science journalists. This case shows the double standard: 1. When I exaggerate, it's a joke. When you do, it's 'misinformation'. 2. JvB's own tweets about the project didn't explain the methods, highlighted preliminary vibe check results.
