Many thanks to our speakers for a successful BITSS Annual Meeting! One of our main take-aways was the tension between using LLMs in research and reproducibility. Reproducibility remains an important issue in research, and this is a topic we think is important to pay attention to.

SCORE, a collaboration of 865 researchers, is now released as three papers in Nature, six preprints, and a lot of data (cos.io/score/). SCORE examined repeatability of findings from the social-behavioral sciences and tested whether human and automated methods could predict replicability.
