Who cares about supplementary materials? Is there any research activity less stimulating than checking these endless, messy files? Unfortunately, blind spots rarely bode well for science.

If you work in psychology in a research area without Registered Reports, you will see that the main hypotheses in papers are almost always supported. If your peers publish Registered Reports, you will also have access to null results, which should be very common. doi.org/10.1177/2515...

Paul Bertin@paulbertin.bsky.social · last yr.New publication with my dearest friend, @kenzonera.bsky.social! We propose that multi-study articles can hardly achieve conceptual novelty and statistical consistency while remaining transparent. Fulfilling two of these criteria considerably reduces the probability of satisfying the third one.

Jay Van Bavel, PhD@jayvanbavel.bsky.social · 2y agoA new paper finds that replicability of social and behavioural science claims in COVID-19 preprints was 65.4% (this included a successfull replication from my own lab--Sternisko et al) www.nature.com/articles/s41... This is just more evidence that research on COVID was actually quite robust.
