✨️Preprint: Awareness & Use of Open Research Practices: An International Survey of Researchers Across Disciplines 📝We surveyed >3,000 researchers (45 countries; 24 disciplines) 📌We show variation in open research adoption across regions, disciplines, methodology, & career level🌎 lnkd.in/e6Ddw-UT

“Open research is about more than the tightening of analytical and methodological standards. The movement also invites us to reconsider how, and by whom, knowledge is created, shared and evaluated” By @maddipow.bsky.social, @drcpennington.bsky.social, & @flavioazevedo.bsky.social #MetaSci #OpenSci

If progress is not to falter, students must be trained in open research

The how and why of conducting transparent, rigorous, ethical research must be explicitly taught, say Madeleine Pownall, Charlotte Pennington and Flavio Azevedo

Do you have an interest in social cognition and skills in neuroscience? Come and do a fully-funded(!) PhD with Dr Daniel Shaw, Dr Enrico Amico, and me! 🧠 📚 "Social brain fingerprints: using network science to extract neural correlates of interpersonal (dys)function" Apply here: lnkd.in/eNRZxbf5

Published today: One of the biggest #science #communication studies to date. We asked 71,922 people in 68 countries how they #engage with information about #science and combined the data with several country-level factors: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... #OpenAccess

This just published. Great work by Michelle Oxtoby. Full article: Lower caution, not inhibitory control, predicts gambling severity – a Registered Report www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Lower caution, not inhibitory control, predicts gambling severity – a Registered Report

Models of gambling disorder, along with other addiction-related conditions, identify impulsive traits as a key component to developing challenging behaviors. This is supported by empirical findings...

Naturally, this is an open educational resource: It is free and will forever stay free. We are also considering making it a living book: There are a few areas that we think deserve more attention. If you are an expert on something that you think is missing from this work, please get in touch!

At the FORRT Replication Hub, our mission is to support researchers who want to replicate previous findings. We have now published a big new component with which we want to fulfill this mission: An open access handbook for reproduction and replication studies: forrt.org/replication_...

“Lower Caution, not Inhibitory Control, predicts Gambling Severity - A Registered Report” by Michelle C. Oxtoby, @drcpennington.bsky.social‬, Richard J. Tunney, & Craig Hedge #accepted

#OpenScience principles help students gain lots of useful skills that are an advantage on the job market in and beyond academia. Read our latest book chapter where we provide tips for educators to bolster employability through open science: doi.org/10.31219/osf...

Thoroughly enjoyed presenting a 3-minute Rapid Talk at #CAGR2025, about our cognitive psychology study. We found that Lower Caution, not Inhibitory Control, predicts Higher Gambling Severity. Thank you to the best supervisors: Dr Craig Hedge @richardtunney.bsky.social @drcpennington.bsky.social

Some really good advice here from the Open Science Framework (@cos.io) on organizing files. I particularly like the recommendation to make raw data 'readme' so it can't be accidentally altered or mixed. help.osf.io/article/147-...
