💡 Post-publication review as a digital colloquium - a new blog post by Adrien Fillon @adrienfillon.bsky.social reproducibilitea.org/jc/2026/10/1... #PostPublicationReview #PeerReview #OpenResearch #metasci #academicsky #researchsky
Post-publication review as a digital colloquium
The central question of science is: how can we improve our scientific theories?
reproducibilitea.org
"post-publication review makes it possible to discuss a piece of work once it has been made public, to ask questions, propose alternative interpretations, point out errors, and collectively think about what remains to be done"
ReproducibiliTea@reproducibilitea.org · 7d agoAdrien Fillon writes: “And I believe that, ultimately, post-publication review is about our capacity to hold a colloquium, that is, etymologically, to keep a conversation going.”

Katie Spoon@kspoon.bsky.social · 2w agoWe wanted to understand why academics leave their jobs (doi.org/10.1126/scia...). We asked: “Tell us your story: what needs/needed to be different about your position?” I thought we would get a few hundred responses and I’d learn a bit more about the context of academic retention for myself.

Does anyone know of a tidy dataset with a large number of common multi-item self-report psychology scales? Ideally clinical. The data does not have to be within-subject, just a variety of common scales with decent N. I have: - Bainbridge et al - AIID dataset - Ideologies 2.0 dataset
"1. Those who resist epistemological norms are often accused of being unscientific or unrigorous. 2. Resisting epistemological norms can be done in an unrigorous way. 3. Resistance does not exist outside of social influence. In resisting some norms, we can recreate other norms."

"Pooling data across many trials could also help answer questions about studies’ operational characteristics: How does remote monitoring compare with on-site testing? Which trial sites reliably deliver high-quality data? Which eligibility criteria slow down recruitment?"
Saloni@scientificdiscovery.dev · 9mo agoNew short blogpost! There are probably many benefits of sharing clinical trial data, including: Verifying results, better meta-analysis, understanding inconsistent results, further exploration, better clinical decision-making, learning how to run trials better, and reducing redundancy.
behold, we found great variation in how people think! Many activities that we thought would be “gaming” weren't & vice versa, eg half of the participants interpreted ‘gambling’ to be ‘gaming’. Ergo: surveying ‘gaming’ without defining it creates data mess
