Our reflections on the recent "AI and Research Integrity" meeting in Montreal: We are somewhat worried that many AI trustworthiness assessment tools are not trustworthy. @lhdjung.bsky.social @jamiecummins.bsky.social trustworthy.scientific.claims/posts/trustw...

Trustworthiness assessment tools must be trustworthy

such a great idea!

Kiwis: ever stood in a supermarket aisle trying to work out whether the bigger pack is actually cheaper? Sometimes it’s not. When the larger package is more expensive per unit than the smaller one, it’s called a quantity surcharge. Madhura Banerjee and I looked for these in NZ supermarkets. 🧵

This is a fantastic and rare (!) example of authors of a published paper and the author of a comment on that paper working together to fix the scientific record. Kudos to all involved. This is not easy, even with good faith all around. @droodman.bsky.social @i4replication.bsky.social #EconSky

The submission portal for #AIMOS2026 is now open. Submit your lightning talks, discussion groups hackathons, and workshops now. www.aimos2026.org/submit

1/ Can AI help researchers check whether published social science results actually reproduce? In our new PNAS paper, we tested this directly in the AI Replication Games: 288 researchers, 103 teams, and real replication packages from quantitative social science.

New working paper with Amol Singh Raswan and Chris Udry: "The Sisyphean Pursuit of Evidence for Poverty Traps." A central idea in development economics is that poverty can trap people. We went looking for the cleanest evidence. Here's what we found – and didn't.

Psychology has a whole cottage industry in which people come up with some construct that is essentially "attitudes/beliefs/expectations/feelings about X", and then the central claim is that this construct is a super important determinant of future X outcomes.>

📣Help needed! We are trying to reach people outside Europe with our short survey on research graphs! Could you share the link with someone? Take the survey yourself? Thanks in advance!! 🙏🌷🙏 (Europeans still welcome, of course!) supsy.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

❗ Help needed ❗ Please take our 5-minute survey about interpreting research graphs 📈 And please help us share this post with lots of people 🤗 Take the survey here: supsy.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_... Thank you!!

You can do this right now: Think of a person who wrote a paper you love, whose work influenced or helped you, or has made your professional life better. Search up their email address. Shoot them a quick email of thanks. It means so, so much. This is a rough time of year, share some joy.

I used to think that people use the “weasel word causal inference strategy” (“our analyses show that X is an important predictor of…” followed by conclusions that are clearly causal) for the sake of plausible deniability. But I’m revising that now, because often deniability *isn’t* plausible.>

I've been working on a new tool, Refine, to make scholars more productive. If you're interested in being among the very first to try the beta, please read on. Refine leverages the best current AI models to draw your attention to potential errors and clarity issues in research paper drafts. 1/

🚨I4R is looking to hire postdoc fellows in public health and computer science! The postdoc will join a team of researchers and help mass reproduce studies in leading public health journals or develop AI replicator agents. Info 👇

Reviewers are more likely to approve manuscripts if authors agree to cite their work than those who don't get cited. Thanks to @aidybarnett.bsky.social, @balazsaczel.bsky.social and @econfeld.bsky.social for chatting with me for this story! www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Peer reviewers more likely to approve articles that cite their own work

Once upon a time, two science journalists had an idea for a blog about retractions. And on Aug. 3, 2010, Retraction Watch launched. And now, 15 years and 6,700 posts later, that work seems more important than ever. Happy 15th anniversary, Retraction Watch.

Interesting read, but worth considering (as the article does) the selection bias introduced by a) who is willing to initiate an adversarial collaboration and b) who manages to compete and publish it.

Our special issue seeks to foster novel theoretical and empirical papers that treat scaling as an object of study in its own right—exploring its methodological foundations, economic incentives, institutional challenges, and pathways to impact. Please spread the word! ideas.repec.org/p/feb/artefa...

Call for Papers: Special Issue on the Science of Scaling

We are excited to announce a special issue dedicated to the “Science of Scaling†in the Journal of Political Economy: Microeconomics. This special issue aims to advance rigorous, interdisciplinary

Today, scaling has evolved far beyond its origins as a mere objective. It now represents a rich domain for scientific inquiry, demanding contributions from economics and allied disciplines. As such, I am excited to announce a special issue on scaling at the JPE-Micro!

The call for proposals is now up for our long awaited #AIMOS2025 conference in Sydney this November: aimos-inc.github.io/aimos.confer...
