Is the "publish or perish" culture at the center of the troubles we're experiencing in scientific publishing? Or is it actually because of the growing corporate greed of the big publishers? What do you think #AcademicSky? #SciPub 🧪

‘Publish or perish’ culture blamed for reproducibility crisis

Survey of more than 1,600 biomedical researchers also flagged small sample sizes and cherry-picking of data as leading causes of reproducibility problems.

Dear academics We could dramatically reduce our administrative workload if we all just agreed not to ask for reference letters until we made our list of finalists. This is massive collective action problem has already been solved by… *checks notes* …every other industry on earth.

Who is for abolishing grad app letters of rec at the point of application? Would it be so bad if letters were requested AFTER candidates were shortlisted? If we do this at UCSD who will join us?

Super stoked to see the new study submissions and what our assistant directors have in store for the PSA!

Psychological Science Accelerator@psysciacc.bsky.social · 2y ago

The December Newsletter is now available! Remember that you can still nominate candidates for the two open Assistant Director positions. Additionally, please note that today marks the final day for submitting proposals for PSA studies. https://buff.ly/3VpSD7M.

the fallout from the Francesca Gino research misconduct scandal isn't over. @engber.bsky.social writes about how an effort by some of her colleagues to self-audit their work with her ended up raising even more questions — for them personally and their whole field www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

The Business-School Scandal That Just Keeps Getting Bigger

The rot runs deeper than almost anyone has guessed.

New in NHB: We systematically replicated 26 of 41 PNAS social science studies that used MTurk. The approach provides a proof-of-concept for using decision markets to select findings to replicate. Replication effect sizes were 45% of original effect sizes. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

All right #psychsky… who knows of papers looking at how researchers taking part in QRPs are perceived? So far, I’ve found some stellar one on researchers views on QRPs… #dissresearch

Well the cat just went marching by me with a funfetti cupcake in her mouth so that's a fun way to learn my wife made them and that the cat will eat them if left unattended

Social psych studies are getting crazy again. This time, instead of ridiculous conclusions, they are written with 10 studies, 60,000 people, and written in so complicated a way that it is nearly impossible to figure out what is happening from one study to the next. #psychsky

We’ve made a big team science leaders starter pack! Please let me know if you want to be added or know someone who should be! go.bsky.app/PdvS9kC

Happy birthday to me…

Lit reviews aren't about you: how much you've read, how harshly you can critique. They're about your reader: what does s/he need to know to position your research question and proposed answer in the field?

This week I finally defended my masters!! (And passed!) AND I was notified that I won the outstanding service award for my work with the @psysciacc.bsky.social. Academically winning… mentally exhausted 😅

At our hackathon today at the Big Team Science conference (@btscon.bsky.social), we finished the Korean translation of CRediT and nearly finished the French translation. If you know Korean, let us know of any comments: contributorshipcollaboration.github.io/projects/tra...
