Very inspiring to see the brilliant Early Career Researchers like @kseniia-m.bsky.social getting engaged in open science
I am very grateful for Open and Credible Science course implemented at Høgskolen i Østfold. New horizons are open as well as new ways of creating science @tkalan.bsky.social 💜 thank you 😊

Can’t agree more @kseniia-m.bsky.social
My favorite thing about being in academia is a constant development. You meet new amazing people, challenge your previous approaches to research with new perspectives, set new goals and enrich your research practices, while staying true to your values and yourself. That is why it is a true dream job

Are you an early-career researcher (or someone hoping to help ECRs) working in #openscience or #metascience? The @reproducibilitea.org podcast is looking for guests for our next season of episodes! We'd love to feature ECR voices foremost – the next generation of scientists should be heard the most!

Could anyone (but looking longinglu at @annayahprosser.bsky.social or @maddipow.bsky.social ) recommend me a paper on why reproducibility is / is not a desired feature of qualitative research from an open science perspective?

New interview on the value of exploratory research.

"My brief explanation of this crisis is that researchers didn't say ‘I found something interesting’, but ‘I found exactly what my fantastic theory had predicted, heureka’.
And then they gave a TED talk."

Very proud to have been involved with articles with a wonderful group of colleagues. I think the article lays out the different model of open-access publishing well and provides clear guidelines for engaging them.

This project wouldn’t have existed without your support @rkomesidou.bsky.social!
I'm thrilled to support @tkalan.bsky.social and team in this new project using implementation science to create a roadmap for developing DLD research and practice in Georgia and inform similar efforts in other countries trying to answer - where do we start when there is limited infrastructure?
I’m excited and look forward to work on this project with a dream team ❤️

Fully preregistered qualitative study examining open ended answers by scientists about what they think of QRP's & open science practices. I love that two independent teams analyzed the same data. Not surprisingly, themes replicate perfectly across teams. osf.io/n2gby

Creating Accessible Research for the #DevLangDis Community

A lot of research goes to waste 🗑️ This is partly because researchers rarely share results with the non-scientific community. Even when findings are shared, people with communication disorders find it hard to understand the research.
