We need good practices for DOI registration for publish-review-curate platforms like @metaror.bsky.social and others.

@andre-brasil.bsky.social and I wrote a blog post about this: doi.org/10.64000/76j...

Together with @crossref.bsky.social we hope to receive input from the community on this issue!

Major new paper by finds implicit measures like the IAT are no better than asking people directly about their biases. After decades of avoiding self-reports, turns out our sophisticated replacement tools work no better than what we abandoned. New post!

Over time I expect research communities will develop a better understanding of the pros and cons of different models, like the MetaROR model, the PCI model and others.

We need experimentation to find out what does and doesn't work!
