I keep seeing/hearing people say that there aren't any open-science and meta-research events. Collecting and curating these the past month has shown me there is a LOT going on, just maybe difficult to keep track. See screenshots, take your pick. Metaventory can help: metaventory.vercel.app/events

Dutch Universities are jointly exploring Mastodon as an open source platform for education and research in the Netherlands. Exciting, and hopefully just the start of a much bigger trend! (that ofc also includes #atscience!)

good, docpluck covers the part i was worried about. the case i'd throw at it first is a two column layout where the stats sit inside a table rather than in the prose, since that's where extraction usually drops the numbers you most need.

ESCIMate (escimate.app) is a small side project I've been working and has grown to something quite useful. Check it out, let me know if you have feedback. ESCIMate builds on idea of Statcheck, but goes further to calculate and check effect sizes and confidence intervals, and their many variants.

Congratulations to the project “ESCIMate website and ESCIcheck R package,” which received🏆2026 SIPS commendation! ESCIMate is a tool that checks whether a paper's reported statistics are internally consistent, helping to surface errors and supporting the credibility of the reported evidence.

In the last 2 years I (and our lovely collaborators) have been rather obsessively working on Metacheck - a tool to automatically check best practices in papers. In this RIOTS summerschool talk, I walk you through what the tool can do, and future plans www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWd2...
