METRICS is accepting applications for the 2026–27 postdoctoral fellowship in meta-research at Stanford. Deadline: Feb 15, 2026. Start date will be around Oct 1, 2026 (+/- 2 month flexibility). See: metrics.stanford.edu/postdoctoral... #MetaResearch #postdoc

📢 Come work with us! The Open Research Manager is a reformulated role in our team - it would suit someone with a strong research support background, but I'm happy to chat to anyone about the role and criteria.

How ‘correct’ should #evidencesynthesis be? How does this change if we add #AI?

Help inform new tool dev and best practice guidance! forms.office.com/e/ZwdicYQpjv

Open until 2 Jul, ~35 mins. Part of @wellcometrust.bsky.social funded DESTinY @campbellreviews.bsky.social @ellaflem.bsky.social

AI slashes time to produce gold-standard medical reviews — but sceptics urge caution Although language models can help to accelerate systematic reviews, a fully automated system is still some way off.

Scientists say they used LLMs to reproduce 12 gold-standard #Cochrane systematic reviews in 2 days - rather than 12 years.

But other experts are sceptical; the system doesn't automate some review steps and needs independent testing. My news story for @nature.com

This blog for LSE is a short summary of our scoping review of research culture blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsoci... Good if you're short on time but want some key take-homes about potential reforms for healthier research environments.

While I see (again) many new users, here is the metaresearch and open sciencff et starting pack 1. Please repost.

Many thanks Stephen. We tried to squeeze as much research culture as possible in this summary to get conversations moving. Those who are too busy or important to care about research culture may well be the problem with it! Hopefully the REF will lead to incentives evolving with the times.

Wow, thanks so much for thinking of me for this! But I think I'm too far post-PhD (a distant 14 years ago). You're truly collegiate though Florian and you uplift others. I wish there were more like you.

And here is the fantastic paper on research culture Lesley led… www.jclinepi.com/article/S089...
