R2: A New Home for Replication Research – Plus Tips for Getting started New blog post on an interview with @zbw-leibniz.bsky.social on the Open Economics Guide Blog with @flavioazevedo.bsky.social and @lukaswallrich.bsky.social on @r2journal.bsky.social openeconomics.zbw.eu/en/2026/06/r...

R2: A New Home for Replication Research – Plus Tips for Getting Started – Open Economics Guide of the ZBW

Where does replication research stand in economics and business studies and what does a realistic, low-risk entry point for researchers look like? Team members of the new journal Replication Research ...

Should we still use the term "preregistration"? Our take here: osf.io/preprints/ps... tl;dr: we think yes! With @lspitzer.bsky.social, @lukaswallrich.bsky.social, and @josefinaw.bsky.social

🔖 Now up on MetaROR: a full evaluation of the Handbook for Reproduction and Replication Studies, which enables researchers to conduct high-quality reproductions & replications across social science disciplines. Reviewers praised it as timely & useful while providing recommendations. Read it now 👇

Handbook for Reproduction and Replication Studies - MetaROR

Introducing the #ReplicationAtlas: The FLoRA (FORRT Library of Reproduction and Replication Attempts) lets you browser over two thousand (!) pairs of original and replication studies. Search by DOIs/keywords and find out about replications from your field, maybe even replications of your own work.

⏳ 2 weeks left to apply to the Making Replications Count Hackathon (Münster, 4–6 May 2026). Join us to build open tools that make replications impossible to ignore. Apply by 16 March: indico.uni-muenster.de/e/marco2

🚀 Making Replications Count Hackathon - in-person 🚀 3 days. 4 open tools. 1 goal: make replication studies impossible to ignore. 📆 4-6 May 2026 | Münster, Germany  ✈️ Travel & accommodation covered (UKRI-funded) Apply by 16 March ➡️ indico.uni-muenster.de/e/marco2 🧵👇 What we will build?

It has been a while since @flavioazevedo.bsky.social asked me to take over the Reversals project at @forrt.bsky.social... It has since evolved beyond my wildest dreams, mostly thanks to @aufdroeseler.bsky.social & @lukaswallrich.bsky.social. We are very proud of the Replication Hub & Database ♥️

PsyArXiv is now down to only ~40% of the backlog we started with, thanks to our amazing moderators 🎉 To all mods: thank you so much for your hard work! Did one of your preprints get approved recently? Help us show our thanks by liking and sharing this post :) #PsyArXiv #PsychSciSky

Very excited that hashtag#UKRI is allowing us to bring coders and meta-scientists together in Germany to build tools that make replications more visible. If you are up for three days of coding, collaboration and new connections, have a look at the details below ... and please share.

Just boosting this again because after a bit of bureaucratic wrangling we are now almost ready to launch! Adverts should be out next week - will keep you posted

🚀 New Meta-Analysis Published: Linking Team Diversity with Performance 🚀 We analyzed 615 studies (2,638 effect sizes) to assess how different dimensions of team diversity are associated with team performance—now published as a Registered Report in the Journal of Business and Psychology. 🧵 [1/8]

🚨WP🚨 We test 9 online samples and find clear tradeoffs between attentiveness and representativeness - which sample is best depends on research q and priorities. For social/political qs I rec Bovitz/Lucid, for complex designs I rec Cloud/Prolific osf.io/preprints/ps...

New preprint: "On the process & value of direct close replications: Reply to Shafir and Cheek (2024) commentary on Chandrashekar et al. (2021)" Rebuttal of Shafir & Cheek's (2024) commentary of our replication now 40+ pages. Feedback welcome! Read: www.researchgate.net/publication/... 👇🧵

We are thrilled to announce the Paul Meehl Graduate School for metascience at Eindhoven University of Technology. We will offer 6-8 free workshops a year for metascience PhD students. You can register and find more information at paulmeehlschool.github.io

This may well be the first: if you saw a paper in @natureportfolio.bsky.social Nat Hum Behav that you think would benefit from an independent replication, would like to do one & maybe have it published in the actual original journal, here is your chance #AcademicSky www.nature.com/articles/s41...

So happy receiving your requests for NHB articles. We already have 30 ongoing robustness reproductions/replications with new data for NHB (2023-onwards). Here is a list of studies available: osf.io/6mr3p/ Contact us at instituteforreplication@gmail.com if you want to participate!

New episode of @nulliusinverba.bsky.social on preregistration. I love recording with Smriti. She brings up an intriguing argument for preregistration that is different from my viewpoint, but very valid. We talked so long, part 2 will follow. nulliusinverba.podbean.com/e/preregistr...

Need a few more days to get your #SIPS2024 submission ready? No problem! We're extending submissions to February 7. #OpenScience #Metascience #Psychology #PsychSciSky #Stats #AcademicSky

It's difficult for others to use your data without first reading documentation. Sharing a data dictionary or codebook alongside your data ensures that users correctly interpret variables. A few examples and templates can be found here: osf.io/e5g6t/

⚠️⚠️New Blog Post!⚠️⚠️ Centering in Moderation Analysis: A Guide I talk about: how to center variables (including categorical variables!), when you need to use it (moderation analysis, ANOVA) and how to do it (with easystats's {datawizard})! #rstats

Full program online for our Workshop Perspectives on Scientific Error | 29 Feb, 1 and 2 March 2024! Program: docs.google.com/document/d/1... Keynotes by @simine.com @ianhussey.bsky.social @cdutilhnovaes.bsky.social & Judith Ter Schure Registration (10 seats left): www.eventbrite.nl/e/workshop-p...

At the @psychscience.bsky.social journal AMPPS, we publish tutorials and have dedicated tutorial reviewers. TRs are go through all the code and each step of a tutorial, then provide feedback about whether it all works as it should. Grad students and post-docs are welcome to be TRs. Join us?

I have made some additions to my preprint "When and How to Deviate from a Preregistration" osf.io/preprints/ps... and submitted it to Collabra: Psychology. If you are reporting a preregistered study, and you find yourself in need to report a deviation, I hope it offers some guidance.

We're launching Devstart, a website to help anyone getting started with developmental science methods and programming. Here's the website with the first tutorials: tommasoghilardi.github.io/DevStart/ Please share widely! 1/4

Meta-analysis on diversity and performance: call for unpublished/recent data (please RT): we are wrapping up a registered report meta-analysis for JBP where we correlate diversity (demographic, cognitive, job-related) and team performance. If you have any unpublished/recent/hard-to-find data (1/2)

How anyone could have thought that what Social Psychology needed was a new journal at Frontiers is beyond me. I can not respect the choice to publish there. Social psychologists, go to actually progressive journals, such as the International Review of Social Psychology rips-irsp.com

In today's prologue release of @nulliusinverba.bsky.social we read Peirce's 'The Fixation of Belief' (and thanks to the first listener for letting me know it should be pronounced like 'purse'!). Next week's episode will be on authority in science.
