Today we launch the first stable release of RegCheck: v1.0.0. RegCheck makes it easier and quicker to compare study registrations to published papers for consistency - something we know is important in principle, but rarely done in practice. A 🧵 on what's new: regcheck.app

RegCheck

RegCheck is an AI tool to compare preregistrations with papers instantly.

Research on cognitive offloading × AI is booming and getting lots of public attention. Unfortunately, some (or even many) of it raises serious credibility concerns. Like this paper, which others and I recently commented on via @pubpeer.com: pubpeer.com/publications...

WE ARE HIRING! Come work with us (me + @malte.the100.ci) on developing and validating RegCheck. PhD or postdoc applications welcome. Folk with backgrounds in meta-science, psychology, (pre)clinical trials, and/or economics are especially invited to apply. jobs.unibe.ch/job-vacancie...

"..commenters questioned the feasibility of collecting fMRI data from hundreds of people across the United States and Canada. ..she stated that pre- and post-study fMRI data was provided by participants themselves." Wish I'd known earlier I could just get participants to submit their own fMRI data.

Our lab loved this paper when it came out as it combined two of our interests, technology effects and schmeasurement. Plus: Registered report, open data. We read it for our journal club and found issues in the Slovak sample that we now posted to PubPeer: pubpeer.com/publications...

First post of the year, new paper out today: we present possibly the biggest case of systematic Measurement Schmeasurement in tech use. It seems that most studies on gaming (videogame) addiction/disorder haven't measured gaming after all. This research took years, so long 🧵 doi.org/10.1098/rsos...

🧵 New PubPeer comment. @cskay.bsky.social & Vlasceanu (2026) propose ECLAIR, an item battery to catch AI-driven bots. We read the preprint in our journal club & found it very interesting, but our read raised several concerns that we posted to PubPeer. pubpeer.com/publications...

Thank you @retractionwatch.com for covering this! Very interesting that the study now has IRB approval... Curious on the outcome of the journal's investigation!

There's an interesting conversation unfolding on PubPeer. Inconsistencies were flagged in a paper by a "global keynote speaker on AI&neuroscience" and then the author casually mentions on LinkedIn that she also has pre-post-fMRI for 300 people 👀> pubpeer.com/publications...

The paper "The Bots Ruining Social Science Are Not Bots at All" by Jaffe et al. got a lot of attention when it came out in Perspectives on Psychological Science. We read it in our journal club and have a few comments that we now posted to PubPeer pubpeer.com/publications...

I’ve officially resigned as Associate Editor for Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience. It used to be a reputable journal, but became a case study in how forced automation destroys academic integrity. 👇

Mediation analysis is surprisingly easy to verify using reported betas, p values, and Ns. Eg the indirect a*b path should be, well, a multiplied by b. Sometimes its not, like in this article claiming SSRI efficacy is mediated by expectations. Whoops. pubpeer.com/publications...

@taymalsalti.bsky.social has done trojan work trying to reproduce the results of three meta-analyses, finding the usual host of issues of effect sizes that are apparently incorrect or non-reproducible Our article is out now: doi.org/10.1111/ejn....

As someone researching cognitive offloading and human–AI interaction, methodological clarity and reproducibility in this area are especially important to me. Glad we were able to document our concerns on @pubpeer.com
