Should we still use the term "preregistration"? Our take here: osf.io/preprints/ps... tl;dr: we think yes! With @lspitzer.bsky.social, @lukaswallrich.bsky.social, and @josefinaw.bsky.social

🗓️ Join us on August 27 for an overview webinar and Q&A about the changes to OSF Projects. We'll cover why the changes are happening, key dates, what will & won't change, & how to prepare, followed by Q&A. Submit questions in advance: bit.ly/prewebinar-q... Register: cos-io.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

COS is announcing important changes to the Open Science Framework (OSF). OSF Projects—used for project collaboration, file mgmt, & storage—is being phased out as an active workspace over the next 6 months. This change does not affect persistence & accessibility of existing public projects. (🧵1/2)

I’ve been told for years that it’s legally and ethically impossible to share medical RCT data. In 2024, the BMJ made sharing anonymised data mandatory, and now lots* of folk do it. Interesting how the barriers evaporated like that, isn’t it? *not everyone, compliance problems exist.

Availability of clinical trial individual patient data in the BMJ before and after adoption of a stringent data-sharing policy, compared with recent rates at other major medical journals

Background In 2024, the BMJ updated its data-sharing policy for clinical trials, requiring open deposit of deidentified individual participant data (IPD) before publication. We considered whether data...

Further to this: the news about OSF is the perfect time to recommend @re3data.bsky.social, the Registry of Research Data Repositories - you can search for potential repositories for your data, and filter the results by a vast number of repo features (e.g., does the repo offer versioning or not)

My single top recommendation would be Zenodo (zenodo.org), but there are other very good options, such as Dryad (datadryad.org) and the Dataverse (dataverse.org), which is deployed by institutions (for Australia, see dataverse.ada.edu.au/dataverse/ada)

Many of us are now learning that research infrastructure is not persistent. Here is a checklist of what I consider when choosing a service. This applies to data repositories, preprint servers, but also to academic journals or research software.

In many fields, pilot studies are critical for methods & tool development & refinement, yet are often overlooked & rarely reported Any ecologists & evolutionary biologists with a special interest and experience in piloting in ecology & evolution: suggested reading, previous research, etc...?

A thing that professionals in industry do, does not work well with academics in my experience: Using PM tools for task tracking. People seem so tool-fatigued that nobody uses the tool. I've heard from some that they had success with Trello, Miro and co, so I wonder what they did differently.

Project management becomes a crucial skill necessary for managing large teams such as ManyLanguages projects. What has particularly worked for you in the past. And what did not work for you at all?

Last week was a long one, but filled w/ optimism as some of us converged in Munich for the #FOR26 to imagine, demo and build the future of open research. I resume it here, insisting on the need to bring creative technologists and open source spontaneity in: alinamierlus.substack.com/p/pulling-it...

Critically lacking in the telling-people-about-things-I'm-doing area but @agataboch.bsky.social and I just finished presenting our work on piloting at #SIPS2026 online!

Code clearly, the most likely person who will have to read this mess is you in a few years. Turns out the same goes for names of folders ...

Introducing the #ReplicationAtlas: The FLoRA (FORRT Library of Reproduction and Replication Attempts) lets you browser over two thousand (!) pairs of original and replication studies. Search by DOIs/keywords and find out about replications from your field, maybe even replications of your own work.
