Social psychology, judgment & decision-making/behavioral economics, agency, & action. Open/meta science. (Peer Community in) Registered Reports, mass replications, & meta-analyses. https://mgto.org/resume-cv/
I remember the widespread pushback when the Peer Reviewer Openness Initiative started in 2017, where we would only review papers that share data and code (or explain why that is not possible) www.opennessinitiative.org/the-initiati...
Now, funders and journals are requiring it.
If you currently do not have a reproducible workflow where you can share data and code where possible, I expect you will soon not be able to publish in good journals.
Beyond being best practice, journals will use this to identify papers written by AI.
Plan a new project accordingly.
The Academic Wheel of Privilege showing the 24 socio-cultural identities. The 24 socio-cultural identity types span six sectors: health and wellbeing, society, culture and communication, gender and sexuality, education and career, living arrangements and lastly childhood and development. These identity types are shown as circles connected to three concentric rings (outer, middle and inner) of “identity” circles with increasing privilege as you go towards the centre.
Out now!

We developed a framework & app to guide authorship teams in making equitable and thoughtful authorship decisions.

✨️Preprint: Awareness & Use of Open Research Practices: An International Survey of Researchers Across Disciplines
📝We surveyed >3,000 researchers (45 countries; 24 disciplines)
📌We show variation in open research adoption across regions, disciplines, methodology, & career level🌎

When you collect data online, are the results from humans or AI? In a project led by Booth PhD student Grace Zhang, we estimate the prevalence of AI agents on commonly used survey platforms:

Because of the increase in submissions due to AI, the peer review system will collapse. The AI flood is happening at different rates for different fields and subtitles, so you might be spared so far.
tenzing.club has now supported producing Acknowledgment sections as well as author lists for several months now. Thanks thanks to @martonkovacs.bsky.social and @frederikaust.com, it now has 2 fewer bugs! Actually, we aren't aware of any remaining bugs..

Wish there was a better academic publishing system? Bluesky and its underlying ATProto technology, along with services like @chive.pub and the broader @atproto.science ecosystem, could do the job. #AcademicSky 🧪 leaflet.pub/2f431faf-c12...
Welcome to #LoveReplicationsWeek Day 4 - with 4 events!
- Getting your replication report ready by @r2journal.bsky.social
- Large scale replications vs. Meta-analyses by @chbergma.bsky.social
- CREP by @jorowags.bsky.social
- Writing Reproducible Manuscripts by @mklingelhoeferj.bsky.social
Never, ever, write chapters in edited volumes. No one can read them, they are trees that fall in a forest when there is no one around to see it. Do yourself a favor, and post a preprint, or start a blog. It will likely have 1000 time more impact.
In his talk, he is focusing on four different facets that can motivate replications. The slides are already available at: zenodo.org/records/1880...
Welcome to day 3 of #LoveReplicationsWeek! Today's lunch talk is by @lukaswallrich.bsky.social on finding a target study to replicate featuring some of our free tools
We have written a simple, plain-language, no equations & minimal jargon tutorial for experimentalists on why you can't drop people who don't take your treatments or follow your instructions.
with re-analyses & recommendations!

We're launching a new Research on Research seminar series for early career researchers!
A space to share your work, brainstorm in-progress projects, or explore fresh ideas for advancing metascience.

Looking for more suggestions for take-downs of popular psychology claims, based on critiquing the underlying flawed research. This is for an undergraduate seminar. Here are the suitable ones I have so far.
Here's my conversation with @jamesheathers.bsky.social, Founder/Director of the Medical Evidence Project, on Metascience Matters: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QH87...
We discussed his book on Forensic Metascience, the story behind the GRIM test, how technology can enable metascience, and other topics.
New working paper I’ve got out (w/ Tom Griffiths @cocoscilab.bsky.social )
Still a work in progress, but we’re excited about the idea and are currently working to extend it. Thanks, Gary, for sharing it!
LLMs are an epistemic nightmare.

wtf? "While the instructions for authors for Paediatrics & Child Health has at times indicated the case reports are fictional, that disclosure has never appeared on the journal articles themselves." who needs fraud when there are medical journals where you can publish *fictional* case reports?
I am shocked that researchers who conduct meta-analysis have to writing email, sending questionnaires, or even mails to the original authors to figure out whether the original study are real RCTs or not 😱

We're now up to 29 labs across 16 countries for our replication project! There is still room for more labs to join us. We are particularly seeking labs capable of testing native English speakers, though all labs are welcome to participate. For more information: rolfzwaan.substack.com/p/memory-mis...
Loved giving a workshop yesterday on transparency, reproducibility, and publication bias in meta-analyses
📊 Part of a brilliant event by the Science: To Be Determined team (@idiv-research.bsky.social). Thank you so much for the invitation!

Sorry, Bluesky, but I have to say it: AI can already do social science research better than most professors with PhDs. And, for the first time in my life, I really have no idea what happens in five years.
Things are changing already, we just need to wake up.
A few weeks ago I created a "Skill" for Claude Code, Codex, etc. It includes all the marginaleffects man pages, as well as summaries of every chapter in the book. The interactions are incredible. I bet something like that would work amazing with DeclareDesign too. github.com/vincentarelb...
Screenshot of claude just writing a design no trouble
Writing simulations in DeclareDesign just went from "I should do that, but it's kind of a lot of work" to extremely easy
