New meta-analysis of 59 STEM education studies: much of the reported learning benefit from generative AI may be inflated by publication bias. A useful reality check before treating one positive pilot as proof. More in today's higher ed AI brief. www.linkedin.com/pulse/ahighe...

AHigherVision's AI in Higher Education Daily Brief (August 25, 2026)

The strongest developments in higher education today did not settle the argument over artificial intelligence. They made the argument more demanding.

I am increasingly finding myself writing in the stiffest way possible, simply because I'm worried that otherwise my prose will sound like it was written by Claude.

Check out this commentary recently published in AMPPS (journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...), a discussion of the findings in Grassi et al related to musical training short-term memory.

What’s new in systematic reviews of prevalence methodology? #PERSyst is developing tailored tools and guidance to address key challenges in bias assessment, publication bias, heterogeneity, and meta-analysis of prevalence. Editorial: https://ow.ly/1Bnk50Yq2V9 #JBIMethodology

This gets a lot of play in UG and early grad methods classes but SO little attention in actual practice. I mean, we think about it, yeah, but not very rigorously.

New review of methods to address demand characteristics by @ocorneille.bsky.social, Chloé Bernard, and @peterlush.bsky.social doi.org/10.3758/s134...

Recommendations for addressing demand artifacts have been discussed in a fragmented way, and some widely used approaches have notable limitations. In this new article, my co-authors and I provide a structured review of leading methods in the field:

Should we still use the term "preregistration"? Our take here: osf.io/preprints/ps... tl;dr: we think yes! With @lspitzer.bsky.social, @lukaswallrich.bsky.social, and @josefinaw.bsky.social

The Metacheck team is busy building an improved version of the osf_download function (www.scienceverse.org/metacheck_bo... ). You will soon be able to use metacheck to download all files, wikis, and meta-data. You will also be able to upload everything to Zenodo.

36  Checking Local Files with repo_check and code_check – The Metacheck Manual

A guide to Metacheck, an R package providing a module based tool for checking scientific manuscripts and data repositories for best practices using text search, R code, and optional LLM queries.

scienceverse.org

The Metacheck Shiny app to download all private OSF Repositories is done. The manual is updated, and everything is in the dev branch on GitHub. As a bonus, we explain how you can run repo_check, data_check, code_check, and codebook_check on your repository with 1 line of code. Launch next week.

I made another comparison here in 2022: osf.io/preprints/me... Can you search registrations on AsPredicted? If someone preregisters multiple variations of an analysis, and only mentions one in a paper, could you look up their name and find the other registrations?

request for meta-science: would be good in general to have an API to access all the researchbox/aspredicted/etc. products. (about searching things - maybe used to be hard, but let's say with OSF and the OSF API, now with straightforward LLM work can scan and find whatever gaps you can think of)

Here is what i think the head-to-head comparison of ResearchBox vs Zenodo look like as OSF replacements. If I am missing an important attribute, let me know, will update accordingly.

The Center for Open Science recently announced its decision to phase out OSF Projects. We want to share how those changes will affect PsyArXiv, a psychology preprint server run and maintained by SIPS volunteers but hosted on the OSF platform. improvingpsych.org/2026/08/11/w...

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.
