In the last 2 years I (and our lovely collaborators) have been rather obsessively working on Metacheck - a tool to automatically check best practices in papers. In this RIOTS summerschool talk, I walk you through what the tool can do, and future plans www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWd2...

Metacheck: automatically check papers for best practices - Daniel Lakens

Can automated tools help researchers catch problems before their work is published? In this talk from the King’s Open Research Summer School 2026, Professor Daniël Lakens (Eindhoven University of…

I got double Data Science Lab news! firstly is that the recording for my last appearance is now on youtube! I'm also happy to announce that I will be joining the Data Science Lab again next week, we will be going over Quarto slide themes, pos.it/dslab youtu.be/vQbhFORULJc #quarto

Nice! Self-contained reproducible #Rstats scripts or #Quarto documents Specify versions (or date) for R and R packages directly in the script or document

ir makes the runtime specification part of the source file. That means a script can say, directly: which packages it needs which R should run it, when that needs to be explicit whether user libraries should be visible whether CRAN packages should be resolved as of a specific date This should help you rerun the script reliably at a later date. Keeping the metadata in the file makes it less likely to be lost or fall out of sync with the code.Quarto documents too# ir uses the same metadata model for Quarto documents. Put package metadata under an ir: key in the document YAML: --- title: My report ir: packages: - dplyr>=1.0 - gt@1.0 isolated: true exclude-newer: 2025-05-15 --- Then render with: $ ir render report.qmd $ ir render report.qmd --to pdf When ir selects an R executable using --r-version, frontmatter ir.r-version, or date-only exclude-newer, it sets QUARTO_R so Quarto renders with that R. ir also seeds rmarkdown automatically for knitr-based renders unless you declare it yourself.

I'm happy to share `ir`, a new command-line tool for running portable R scripts and Quarto documents. It's inspired by my two favorite parts of `uv`: self-describing scripts and tools you can run without installing first. opensource.posit.co/blog/2026-07...

Podcast alert!!!! Together with Hanna Schraffenberger I am launching the Computer Science Off Course Podcast Today! Computer Science curricula are very very narrow in scope with a lot of math and algorithms, but very little meta science, philosophy or history.

Should automated tools for peer review come with a "nutritional label" for validity?🥪 And if so, what should be on it? Join my workshop on June 5th @ the META/e Conference on Transparency, Technology and AI in Peer Review in Eindhoven! Results will inform our FAIR validation framework. Details >>

A table with the same layout as a nutritional label, but instead filled out with Validation Facts. Categories include tool information, ground truth, performance, and limitations & generalizability.

Today is another day where weak science published in 'top' journals makes the headlines. Take this 'tool' to identify people at risk of obesity-related disease, published in @natmed.nature.com. I would be shocked and concerned if this tool is ever used! www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

I’m attending this, and will be arguing strongly for the values we use for generative AI use in metacheck: 1. AI should be optional and opt-in 2. AI should only be used to assist in categorising/identifying, never evaluating 3. All tools should provide transparent validation data
