I've been meaning to rejig my website for a while; et voilà: bartlettje.github.io. I value open educational materials way above publications, so I've updated the overview and the workshops relating to it!

Totally, there’s only so much that’s under your control.

It comes up a lot in teaching. We're just writing a project up about data skills in students and there were some really interesting quotes where they thought a non-significant result was an error as all their teaching examples showed a significant result.

That would not surprise me

Smaller edits this time, but third revision 🥲 osf.io/preprints/os...

New sci-hub just dropped.

Excellent, look forward to seeing it!

Very cool and a project idea I'd considered myself! I'm genuinely surprised the reproducibility estimate is so high, but I'd love to see the estimate for articles which *don't* have open data.

Haha I do like a bit of trial and error

I’m sorry, you can do what now…?!
You can specify relative position in ggplot with I(x) I(y).

E.g. annotate("text", x = I(.5), y = I(.5), label = "hello!") will place the text in the middle of the plot.
This, combined with alignment arguments is like 87% of the magic for me.
Too many significance tests!!

Made this little graphic for my #stats class, showing the various kinds of (N)HST and how interpreting confidence intervals can replace all of them.

Made with #rstats #ggplot (duh)

Terrible university for a PhD, but at least it got me a permanently cool set of robes 😂

At graduation, we had so many from our online distance learning programme attend, where people came from as far away as New Zealand, Canada, and Jordan. This is why I think HE will never die, anyone can read a book or watch some videos, but it’s the human connections which make the difference.

We reframed it as a commentary where we outline different options for embedding principles and skills for open science in assessments across a degree. We provide some examples of assessment briefs and we will continue to populate the accompanying OSF project.

We have a new revision on our preprint "Practice what you preach: Designing student assignments that advance open and reproducible science"! We had some of the nicest (but still critical) peer-review comments I've ever received, so that was refreshing.

The motivation behind the article was that I always like to see examples of assessments for inspiration beyond death by essay and report. There are plenty of ways for adapting the approach to other contexts, so hopefully people find it useful.

There is a big new section on previous research in teaching and assessment approaches for reproducibility and replicability, while providing more context behind the degree/course it features in.

After sitting on some revisions for months, I've made some major changes to one of my preprints. I outline an assessment approach which embeds the concepts of reproducibility and replicability while students are demonstrating their analysis skills.

Papers from July to Sept 2025 at AMPPS are killer. We don't have formal print issues, but we have this-- journals.sagepub.com/toc/ampa/8/3

Ever year when I introduce NHST and the importance of effect sizes, I get students to respond what success rate would convince them that someone could see the future. Weirdly, most of the time, the answer isn't 53%...
Excited to share that I’ll be the incoming Editor of AMPPS. My first priority is building a diverse team of Associate Editors and Editorial Board members. If you’re interested, DM me or add your name via this super simple survey.

Love this, very fun!

Psychological Methods is looking for Editorial Fellows. We are looking forward to applications of early-career psychologists who will bring experiential diversity to their work. If you are interested, reach out to me or directly apply here to work with a wonderful team: www.apa.org/pubs/journal...

This fall I will have a blind student in my coding class for the first time. Do any other instructors or visually impaired coders have advice beyond making sure my book has useful alt-text for the images? #rstats #accessibility

We’re lucky at Glasgow Psychology as we have a bequest fund we can apply to. Not a specific amount but have to apply / make the case for the conference. Priority goes to people who haven’t been awarded it within a couple of years if it’s reaching the yearly limit.

Our argument is that you *can* embed reproducible research skills in every degree; you just need the right support in place. Your students might just surprise you in what they're capable of learning and valuing.
