Our platform runs for roughly €25/day — and anyone can publish on it for free. The APC for a single paper could instead keep ResearchEquals online for months: Nature: €10,000 → ~400 days Scientific Data: €2,390 → ~96 days PLOS Biology: $5,500 → ~190 days DM us if your OA funds need more purpose 😉

99 Pubpeer comments are ready, with another 2,3K well on their way. By @josefinaw.bsky.social, Prasad Chandrashekar, @zefreeman.bsky.social, and @lukaswallrich.bsky.social, @forrt.bsky.social
NEW: @pubpeer.com to host thousands of replication studies in a bid to make them more visible. My latest for @nature.com: www.nature.com/articles/d41... @aufdroeseler.bsky.social, @forrt.bsky.social, @josefinaw.bsky.social
Hello world! For the next weeks, I will reply to people on Bluesky to notify them of replications from @forrt.bsky.social's database and retractions from @retractionwatch.com's database. Reply to me if you are annoyed or if I make errors and like my posts if you would like me to continue posting.
Don't mind me, I am just checking if @replicationbot.bsky.social knows that this study was retracted: doi.org/10.1006/obhd...
Redirecting
doi.org
Did you know there is a replication to this study? According to the replication authors, the replication attempt failed. https://forrt.org/flora-replication-atlas/?dois=10.1207%2Fs15324834basp2504_5
I wonder if people would be annoyed by a bot that chimes in whenever they talk about a study that was replicated. For example, it could tell me if this study was replicated: doi.org/10.1207/s153...
Together with five other journals from the Replication Journal Federation (forrt.org/rjf/), we are looking forward to helping researchers make their reproduction studies count.

I asked Claude to boil down my conversation with @randalljellis.bsky.social on his podcast Metascience Matters to its absolute essence so here is an 80 minutes conversation in two minutes with all the instances of us saying "replicate" and "reproduce". youtu.be/KgCsCR1vbK8

The @forrt.bsky.social FLoRA project is growing so fast, last week's numbers are already outdated 🤯 As of today, we are at 2.381 pairs of original and replication studies.
New post! "Making Sense of Replications (and Some Nonsense about the Replication Crisis)," in which I suggest a journal club reading list of new papers on replication, and push back on claims that the replication crisis is fake. getsyeducated.substack.com/p/making-sen...
Making Sense of Replications (and Some Nonsense about the Replication Crisis)
It’s hard to overstate just how much the culture around replication in science has changed over the past 15 years.

This is what makes it art: '(...) the publisher posted a blank white page with the cryptic phrase, “This article has been withdrawn due to article violation.” Springer Nature is nevertheless still selling the empty PDF for $39.95.' www.science.org/content/arti...
Why have papers by one of history’s most famous physicists been retracted?
Springer Nature has removed two studies by Max Planck. A bot may be to blame

I really like @randalljellis.bsky.social's conversations for being about things that you would not read in a paper and I was honored to be one of his guests. We talked about replications, publishing, research assesment, @r2journal.bsky.social, @forrt.bsky.social, power posing, and many more things.
Open science for the weekend! Here's my conversation with Lukas Röseler, Managing Director of the Münster Center for Open Science at the University of Münster. We discussed his experience leading a department dedicated to open science, youtu.be/PSVNZ-OFj3U?...
Our metacheck package now has an online manual! In 29 short chapters we explain how to set up metacheck (running all modules 100% locally if you want), and explain the 18 available modules. www.scienceverse.org/metacheck_bo... We are still in beta, and would love to get feedback!

I was very happy to see that Royal Society Open Science just used my @prereview.bsky.social like a traditional review. When I was asked to review the manuscript, I instead did a PREreview (public preprint review) and put nothing but the link to it in my review. prereview.org/reviews/2049...
I built a website that tracks open source tools that provide automated checks for scientific manuscripts: lakens.github.io/automated_re... It provides a summary through RSS feed that you can subscribe to. It tracks 13 repositories - if you want your repo to be included, let me know!
