Thanks, interesting paper. I'm missing a conclusion in the example write-up. Is it that the hypotheses (JND & prior SD) are so uncertain that there cannot be a conclusion? I find this generally the stickiest point against interval tests.

~40% of psyarxiv preprints contain links to open data in 2025 vs (e.g.) ~10% in 2019 (although in the latter case people mostly did not report this metadata): vuorre.com/psyarxiv-das...

vuorre.com/psyarxiv-das... now shows tag co-occurrence networks for psyarxiv preprints. Useful for e.g. looking at what kinds of things people study in relation to social media (left) and technology (right).

covid-19 is the most commonly used tag on psyarxiv: vuorre.com/psyarxiv-das... I'm surprised to see 'consciousness' in the top-20!

PsyArXiv also recently switched to a pre-moderation workflow due to AI slop (the attached graph shows the 2025 increase caused by a large review backlog due to the moderation switch): blog.psyarxiv.com/2025/08/20/c...

Its so fast & responsive. I love that I can see power with and without dropout at the same time.

Scientific communication is part and parcel of the academic and scientific work that we do, independent of industry pressures or intervention. Why do we accept industry capture of this most essential part of our enterprise?

I argue that the time is right for widespread adoption of open review platforms like PREreview (prereview.org) and Review Commons (www.reviewcommons.org) and reject the arbitrary administrative overhead imposed on us by the publication industry.

This short essay was inspired by Stevan Harnad's early works on scientific publishing, particularly "Scholarly skywriting and the prepublication continuum of scientific inquiry" (eprints.soton.ac.uk/251894/1/har...)

Against Publishing: universonline.nl/nieuws/2025/...
Preprints are read, shared, and cited, yet still dismissed as incomplete until blessed by a publisher. I argue that the true measure of scholarship lies in open exchange, not in the industry’s gatekeeping of what counts as published.

The quarto-preprint @quarto.org extension (github.com/mvuorre/quar...) for PDF outputs with #typst now includes proper appendices for reproducible #quartopub #rstats manuscripts, improved two-column layouts (and themes, incl. full-width content), better reference formatting & improved documentation.

Based on the available information it appears that the points on p.3 apply to any preprint, not just pci:rr. I don't know if Wiley has responded to this yet.

My PsyArXiv coauthor network looks nice.
If anyone wants to create theirs, #rstats code is at vuorre.com/posts/psyarx... and data (everyone's) is at github.com/mvuorre/psya....

This just in (my email an hour ago): An academia[.]com supported platform is inviting my submissions in microbiology and translational immunology. I am a psychologist.
Just in case someone thought that website has some credibility. It doesn't.

Open Terms Archive[1] is a pretty cool service: They track, scrape, and store all versions of online platforms' ToS and privacy policies and make them publicly available. Might be pretty interesting to use e.g. in longitudinal studies to track platform changes.

I like this post because it explains distributional regression so clearly. It's not magic folks, just more regressions.

What to do with academic publishing: youtu.be/XmttiQnlJfw?...
- Support open communication platforms
- Support "publish, review, curate" communications
I'd also add:
- Get angry
- Recognize that business as usual (submit to El$evier et al) is not value-free
- Stop reviewing for big pub
- Support open communication platforms
- Support "publish, review, curate" communications
