I have a renewed appreciation for the statistical software packages Jamovi and JASP. Use them! In terms of reproducibility, they can't be beat. Archiving the data, code, and output in a single file is a genius move. Achieving the same reproducibility in R is very hard work.

I agree! I also think that papers should originate on the lead author’s institutional repository and the only journals are overlay journals run by learned societies.

My unpopular science reform opinion is that journal name/reputation SHOULD be a good heuristic for trust/quality, and that’s what we should be trying to achieve.

Affective memories of school physical education, life-phase timing of formative experiences, and adult sport and exercise participation: a quota-representative study in Germany - BMC Public Health

Background School physical education (PE) is one of the few contexts in which nearly all individuals encounter structured movement. We explored whether adults’ PE memories relate to sport and exercise...

If you had to guess, what proportion of social/personality psych articles include a claim that the findings can be applied in the real world?

Today we launch the first stable release of RegCheck: v1.0.0. RegCheck makes it easier and quicker to compare study registrations to published papers for consistency - something we know is important in principle, but rarely done in practice. A 🧵 on what's new: regcheck.app

RegCheck

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

WE ARE HIRING! Come work with us (me + @malte.the100.ci) on developing and validating RegCheck. PhD or postdoc applications welcome. Folk with backgrounds in meta-science, psychology, (pre)clinical trials, and/or economics are especially invited to apply. jobs.unibe.ch/job-vacancie...

Powering a superiority trial is challenging: when the SESOI defines the null hypothesis, what superiority margin exceedance should the study be powered to detect? Are there any applied examples? @isager.bsky.social @lakens.bsky.social @jamessteeleii.bsky.social

You could quite easily say: "... [scientists are] able to generate useful data, but that they themselves [do not] make proper use of these data." A lot of the inferential work that takes place is very much vibes based. 4/6

Tip for senior authors, too…

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🧪

Integrative experiments - where effects are tested across auxiliary assumptions - are a more useful tool than multiverse analysis and many analyst studies. If you like to ponder the philosophical basis of statistical procedures, you might enjoy this paper! osf.io/preprints/ps...

New preprint: There is only one correct analysis. osf.io/preprints/ps... with @sajedehra.bsky.social and @mntunc.bsky.social We take a critical look at recent proposals for multiverse or many analyst procedures, and strongly argue that epistemic uncertainty should be reduced, not “embraced”. >

Also I am with you @lastpositivist.bsky.social in that most of my work is bad... hence trying to do less, and trying to just do better (whilst largely ignoring whatever everyone else is dicking around doing over in their corners cosplaying "scientists")

If you prefer to read open access texts, then read our more extensive overview (submitted to Meta-Psychology) here: osf.io/preprints/ps... I'm extremely proud of the excellent work Sajedeh is doing - she is an incredibly talented young scholar.
