“How do we determine whether some piece of evidence is relevant? As I’ll discuss, existing philosophical work on RTE does not provide an explicit, clear answer.” New work by Feraz Azhar (2026): doi.org/10.1086/743555 #PhilSci

In assessing support for a hypothesis, we must decide what evidence to include. The requirement of total evidence (RTE) says that we ought to include our total relevant evidence. But what fixes relevance? Existing philosophical work on RTE does not explicitly and clearly address this question; nor does this work develop RTE in a way that is sensitive to, and thus readily applicable to, the practice of modern-day science. In this article, I address these challenges. In particular, I introduce and critically analyse a version of RTE that makes precise two conditions for evidence to count as ‘relevant’—namely, ‘admissibility’ and ‘non-redundancy’—in such a way that renders RTE readily applicable to scientific models understood from a practical, modern viewpoint. I dub this viewpoint the ‘effective turn’: wherein scientific models are analysed in light of their limited regimes of applicability. I also provide a contrast with implementations of RTE in more general settings, where model-relative guardrails may be absent and the problem of what fixes relevance is correspondingly more thorny.

Results blind peer review is good, and so is early feedback (I prefer methodological review boards) www.nature.com/articles/d41... All of these things do not require preregistration. We should not conflate concepts as scientists.

Is my study useless? Why researchers need methodological review boards

Making researchers account for their methods before data collection is a long-overdue step.

Interessantes Methodenkritik-Papier zum Zensus 2022 von Schnell, Lenz und Schmidt. Eine Freude für Fans der Insult-Comedy, möchte man meinen doi.org/10.17185/due...

Zusammenfassung
Die Ergebnisse des Zensus 2022 wichen in zahlreichen Gemeinden so stark von den Mel-
deregistern ab, dass mehrere Hundert Gemeinden Widerspruch gegen die Ergebnisse des
Zensus eingelegten. Ein Zusammenschluss von 287 Gemeinden hat die Autoren mit einem
Gutachten zu den Verfahren des Zensus 2022 beauftragt. Das Statistische Bundesamt hat
keine einheitliche Dokumentation des Zensus 2022 vorgelegt, es gab keine Begleitforschung
und mit Ausnahme weniger Arbeiten zur sogenannten „Präzisionszielfunktion“ keine
wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten speziell zur Methodik des Zensus 2022. Im Rahmen des Gut-
achtens wurde die Literatur vollständig gesichtet, Dutzende Anfragen an die statistischen
Ämter gestellt und schließlich Anfragen nach dem Informationsfreiheitsgesetz gestellt.
Zusätzlich wurden auf der Basis anonymisierter Mikrodaten Simulationen, insbesondere
zum Hochrechnungsverfahren, durchgeführt. Das Gutachten kritisiert jeden Schritt des
Zensus, von der Definition der Population, über das Hochrechnungsverfahren bis zur Wie-
derholungsbefragung. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit gilt dabei den Nichtstichprobenfehlern
und der mangelnden Dokumentation. Der Text stellt das den Gemeinden am 1.1.2026
zur Verfügung gestellte Gutachten mit einzelnen redaktionellen Änderungen dar.

Are women more attracted to men with resources? It depends. Romantic preferences for people with economic resources are stronger for the sex that is poorer and individuals who are poorer. This suggests that economic preferences are cultural, rather than evolutionary. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Patrick Präg @ppraeg.bsky.social · 7mo ago

An era has come to an end

As we write our final editorial for European Societies, we return to the spirit of our first editorial (Präg, Ersanilli and Gugushvili, 2022) and to the question that guided our tenure: did we deliver on what we promised? At the outset, we set out a twofold vision. We wanted to keep European Societies a genuinely general sociology journal with a focus on Europe and European sociology, open to all substantive areas and to authors worldwide. At the same time, we wanted to modernize the journal by lowering barriers to participation, moving toward open access and open science, and by running peer review as fairly, comprehensively, and efficiently as possible. Looking back, we believe the direction of travel has been consistent with that agenda, even if some constraints have become more pronounced as submissions have grown.

The most tangible step toward barrier reduction has been the shift in the journal's publishing model. The move to MIT Press and the adoption of a noncommercial, diamond open-access model have made the journal free to read and free to publish in. This has mattered not only as an institutional achievement by ESA, but also as a signal of what a flagship journal of the European Sociological Association can be: a truly public scholarly resource rather than a gated space shaped by the ability to pay. In parallel, we worked to reduce friction in submission and production by making procedures more predictable and less resource-intensive for authors, and by strengthening the journal's commitment to transparency, including the routine expectation of replication materials for quantitative work published in the journal (Präg, Ersanilli and Gugushvili, 2025). We have thought of these changes as working on “access” and “voice” simultaneously. By “access,” we mean making it easier for people to read the journal and to submit their work. By “voice,” we mean that a broader range of scholars, institutions, and regions appears on our pages and shapes the debates. Bot…

European societies in motion, and a commitment to voice

A general sociology journal should reflect the major currents shaping European societies, not by chasing headlines, but by publishing sociological work that helps explain how Europe is changing. Over the past years, the journal has continued to engage research on inequalities and social stratification, climate change and ecological transition, migration and shifting borders, transformations in work and welfare, population aging and health inequalities, and the reconfiguration of social trust and political contestation. The full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 further underlined how quickly the horizon of “normal” European development can rupture, and how urgent it becomes to understand societies that have too often been treated as peripheral in general sociological publishing. The Special Issue on understanding Ukrainian society before and after the invasion (Martsenyuk et al., 2024) was therefore an attempt to contribute to that understanding while also practicing what we had argued for from the start: that underrepresented parts of Europe should not appear only through external observation, but should be visible through scholarship that is locally grounded, rigorously theoretical, and fully integrated into European sociology.

Throughout our tenure, we also sought to ensure that the journal provided space for the plurality of sociological traditions across Europe. European sociology remains multi-paradigmatic and unevenly structured by regional and institutional inequalities. We therefore aimed to combine a high threshold for publication with broad openness to different intellectual styles, methods, and substantive agendas, and to keep ourselves accountable by paying attention to patterns in submissions and editorial outcomes across regions and approaches. This is unfinished work, but it is work that cannot be postponed if we want a journal that represents European sociology as it exists, rather th…

the structural reality remains that a general journal with finite capacity cannot publish all of the strong sociology it receives, even when that sociology deserves a wide readership.

This pressure is intertwined with another growing challenge: the difficulty of securing peer reviewers. Reviewing is the central infrastructure of scholarly publishing, but it rests on time and goodwill that are increasingly stretched. Across our term, it has become harder to find the right expertise quickly, particularly for more specialized topics or for underrepresented contexts where the pool of suitable reviewers is smaller. We therefore want to thank reviewers once more, not as a ritual, but as recognition that the journal's quality and fairness depend directly on their labor. We also hope that our community continues to treat reviewing as part of academic reciprocity, because without a sustainable reviewing culture, no editorial team can reliably balance speed, rigor, and equity.
Thanks, acknowledgments, and handover

We owe special thanks to Patrick Präg, who left his editorial role slightly earlier but contributed enormously to the journal's direction and to the everyday work that makes a journal function. His intellectual judgment, practical ambition, and commitment to fairness and transparency shaped many of the changes implemented during our tenure, and the journal is stronger because of his contributions. We also thank our associate editors, without whom our work would have been impossible: Plamen Akaliyski (Lingnan University), Çetin Çelik (Koç University), Roxanne Connelly (University of Edinburgh), Ivana Dobrotić (University of Zagreb), Marta Dominguez Folgueras (Sciences Po), Magne P.
