Commercial publishers are smart: They have constructed a prisoner's dilemma for researchers, institutions, and countries from which they profit. I'll be one of the people talking about resesarch assessment in practice at a German webinar tomorrow - tune in to join the discussion!

If have an academic contribution such as a blog post, teaching materials, a coded website, dataset, etc. Please consider #long-termarchiving and #FAIRdata sharing. eg you can put it all on Zenodo and it will be findable for the next 20 years.

And please let me know if you find any of these things:

A lot is going on at @forrt.bsky.social! #OER, #metascience, #socialjustice, and much more. If you want to get a glimpse of some of the projects, check out this beautiful booklet at forrt.org/booklet created by @irissmal.bsky.social

Academia is brutal: Paywalls, replication crisis, intransparency, inequity, billion dollar donations in peer review, etc. Read in our inaugural editorial how R2 solves these problems. www.uni-muenster.de/Ejournals/in...

Just noticed that it says on Elsevier's Wikipedia page that the section on criticism of academic practices "may be too long to read and navigate comfortably". I think you should definitely give it a read!

Where to publish reproductions and replications? (At ReplicationResearch.org of course) But seriously: There are several journal dedicated to replications and reproductions!
For an overview of which journal accepts what types of studies:

ReplicationResearch.org is now open for submissions!

Submit replications and reproductions from many different fields, as well as conceptual contributions. With diamond OA, open and citable peer review reports, and reproducibility checks, we push the boundaries of open and fair publishing.

Should you do a replication (same data) or reproduction (different data)? Reproduction - if possible - is much easier and can inform replication attempts. Even without data, reproducibility can be assessed (eg via preregistrations). Here is our handbook's decision tree:

What are current opinions on data format (especially csv vs. sav/SPSS)? Sönning&Roettger refer to site.uit.no/trolling saying that you should rather use csv but you can easily open sav with open source software. Also, sav can come with useful labels vs csv with encoding issues. Chapter: osf.io/drvnz

"The proof established by the test must have a specific form, namely, repeatability." (Dunlap, 1926). And researchers have more and more done so. Read why replications are important and how the last years have seen a strong rise of replications in our open handbook: forrt.org/replication_...

The Münster Replication Games will take place on November 28, 2025!
+ 1 day event to conduct reproduction/replication
+ connect with fellow researchers interested in OS
+ refine your coding skills
+ become a co-author on a meta-paper

Naturally, this is an open educational resource: It is free and will forever stay free. We are also considering making it a living book: There are a few areas that we think deserve more attention. If you are an expert on something that you think is missing from this work, please get in touch!

At the FORRT Replication Hub, our mission is to support researchers who want to replicate previous findings. We have now published a big new component with which we want to fulfill this mission: An open access handbook for reproduction and replication studies: forrt.org/replication_...

Thank you for this very impressive resource of 50 (!) reproducibility/replicability metrics; also includes a searchable online table at rachelheyard.com/reproducibil...

If you consume or produce research, I say that you must learn about the commercial publishing system. Start with @forrt.bsky.social's glossary (forrt.org/glossary/eng...), watch the Paywall Movie (www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAzT...) and learn about OA types. Think about who you want to do research for.

Another one on the list of public communication about researchers wasting tax money by Focus+:

"The big business of fake research"

a few months after Maithink X's "Tax scandal: science behind paywalls".

Ironically, it's paywalled...

Replication Research (R2) is part of the @forrt.bsky.social Replication Hub and co-owned by FORRT and the Münster Center for Open Science (www.uni-muenster.de/MueCOS/en/in...).

It is one of many collaborative projects with which we want to support replications and reproductions across science.

We are creating an academic journal and *you* can shape it!

Make comments and suggest changes to replicationresearch.org 's
- Constitution
- TOP guidelines
- article types
- and reviewer guidelines
until September 5 and be credited as a contributor: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I see theories about them everywhere and they all work in similar ways: Two things can seem more similar or more dissimilar depending on their actual similarity and the "precision" of their characteristics.

Old preprint alert: Although I have slowly transitioned from research to "research on research", I keep coming back to assimilation and contrast phenomena: They have been described in perception (psychophysics) and cognition (expectations, estimation, persuasion, social judgment).

Using #opendata, we could show that reliabilities of people's reliance on external cues differs strongly between the paradigms. Advice taking is very reliable, hindsight bias medium, and anchoring not at all. 2/3
June 26, 2025 at 6:59 AM
Together with @tobiasrebholz.bsky.social and Julia Groß, we developed a common assimilation model for advice taking, hindsight bias, and anchoring: These phenomena have many similarities (robust, assimilation to external cues) and can easily be integrated. But there is one key difference. 1/3

'Metascience won't solve the replication crisis'

At Metascience 2025, @flavioazevedo.bsky.social, Katherine Button, @lukaswallrich.bsky.social, @forrt.bsky.social, and I will be talking about lots of projects with one common goal: Supporting replication research

This is getting out of hand - now they want to re-publish a correction of mine!
