4th Book Day: Yesterday was difficult but I did make some progress. I wrote about a 1000 words and did quite a lot of reading, that ultimately I decided was not relevant for what I'm writing, but I guess now I know. Not all days are hyper-productive, and I'm trying to be accepting of that.

Comparing registrations to published papers is essential to research integrity - and almost no one does it routinely because it's slow, messy, and time-demanding. RegCheck was built to help make this process easier. Today, we launch RegCheck V2. 🧵 regcheck.app

RegCheck

RegCheck is an AI tool to compare preregistrations with papers instantly.

Few statisticians know that Frank Yates, pioneer of experimental design, is responsible for the annoying practice of indicating 3 tiers of statistical significance by stars (*p ≤ 0.05, **p ≤0.01, ***p ≤ 0.001). He soon regretted it and “vehemently opposed its unthinking use”. And here we are.

Have you ever #preregistered a #psychometric evaluation of a measure? We’re looking for examples! Shameless self-promotion encouraged! Or if you found one you really liked as an example, send it my way! #OpenScience #measurement

To celebrate the openESM paper release, I wrote a brief blog post summarizing recent developments: openesmdata.org/blog/2026-07... We: 💠added more data 💠provided descriptive visualizations for each item 💠created a semantic similarity mapping for items, making it easier to find related items

Our article introducing the #openESM database for experience samling data, led by @bsiepe.bsky.social, has now been published 🎉 Paper: link.springer.com/article/10.3... openESM interactive website: openesmdata.org GitHub repository: github.com/openesm-proj...

New paper out now 🥳 When psychologists discuss generalisability, they often refer to vague notions of representativeness. We provide an accessible intro to the total survey error framework as a tool to reason about this more rigorously. w @taymalsalti.bsky.social @ruben.the100.ci >

A useful thread on things to watch out for when using AI generated slides!

I just returned from two back-to-back conferences. Students, I noticed that a lot of your slide decks had an oddly similar layout structure and I was able to confirm in conversations that these were AI-generated/assisted. Some thought about this for your own professional development: 🧵

2nd Book Day Reflections: Wrote about 1700 words and made two tables and one figure (4 pages). It was easier than last time, mostly because I wrote myself a to-do list at the end of last session, so I'm sticking with that approach. I wrote up the example I analyzed last time, which was fun!

Over the summer, I'm dedicating a whole day (Mondays) to working on my book. This is pretty different than my usual workflow (short periods each day).Today was my first day doing this and I already have quite a few observations:

This issue literally keeps me up at night

Aidan Wright@aidangcw.bsky.social · last mo.

One counterintuitive issue is that time is rarely explanatory on its own, yet nearly every explanation depends on it. We often lean on time, including chronological age, as a stand-in for processes we cannot yet measure directly. 3/

Tip for junior authors: A power analysis is only as good as the effect size you feed it. "Medium" is not a justification. Tell us whether your effect size comes from prior empirical work (justifying that choice) or from theory (e.g., the smallest effect you'd care to detect). #cogpsyc #AcademicSky🧪
