Workshop done 😀 since I anyway put together a list of resources, I'm going to share it in this thread. So here we go, my top recommendations for how to improve computational reproducibility of your work

I am giving a workshop on "good (enough) practices for computational reproducibility" tomorrow. Can't wait to share how much fun it is to use Git

Nearly half of all polarization research focuses on the US, yet many American findings are global outliers. A Review in Nature Communications argues that a globally equitable understanding requires bridging traditional social science with new approaches leveraging social media and AI. 🧪

🚨Update: Our analysis of global APC expenditure has now been expanded to cover more publishers (7 -> 14) and more years (2019-2025). We estimate $15B in APCs paid over seven years, $3.7B in 2025 alone. Elsevier crosses the $1B threshold by itself in 2025. arxiv.org/abs/2608.16322 #ScholComm

🚨 Preprint! We combine our recent open dataset of #APC prices with the article counts per journal-year from #OpenAlex to estimate how much the academic community has paid in APCs over the last 5 years. A. $8.349 billion ($8.968 B in 2023 USD) $2.5B in 2023 alone. arxiv.org/abs/2407.16551 #metasci

Is social media truly making us more politically polarized, or does it simply over-represent our most extreme opinions? In our new preprint, @small-schulz.bsky.social and I present *punishing evidence* that social media systematically overrepresents users’ most extreme political opinions. 1/n

Registered Reports and preregistration of secondary data analysis is only coherently possible if you can prove you did not have access to the data. Without such proof, these methods should not be allowed for secondary data. We explain this view in detail in www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

The benefits of preregistration and Registered Reports

Practices that introduce systematic bias are common in most scientific disciplines, including toxicology. Selective reporting of results and publication bias are two of the most prevalent sources o...

i’m a big fan of registered reports, and they help put barriers in the way of fraudsters, but if they are doing secondary analyses of open data it won’t work

A loss for open science. Zenodo is a great alternative for data repository and to publish static replication packages. It's backed by CERN.

Over the next several months, we will phase out some popular OSF features. These changes do not affect current public content, which remains safe and accessible. We have prepared support material to help users adapt. I am very sorry for the disruption to your work. Please read this post for details.

Well, this motivated me to polish off my "hell-freezes-over" blog post where I: 1) Put together a reproducibility pipeline/stack 2) For both R (oof) and python (easy) 3) Provide a git repository 4) Discuss how to prereg with it joebakcoleman.com/blog/2026-08...

On the off chance you're relying on OSF to store your data; put copies of it somewhere safe ASAP. I like to think they've got the runway to keep storing things like they suggest, but it wouldn't be the first time something like this went dark on the internet. www.cos.io/osf-changes
