Please help us, #MetaScience community!

It's time to decide on a forever name for papercheck (scienceverse.github.io/papercheck/). We don't want it to be confused with papercheck.ai, and we plan to check other research artifacts like repo contents, data, code, and prereg. Any suggestions?

Check Scientific Papers for Best Practices

A modular, extendable system for automatically checking scientific papers for best practices using text search, R code, and/or (optional) LLM queries.

Spend years studying something so that you are smarter about it than 99% of the other people in your space, and write things useful for others for a few years typically gets you in a good starting position, in my personal experience.

Yes, I typically never interact with anonymous accounts on platforms like this. Waste of time, and people who chose to be anonymous end up never sharing my values.

One of my two last (ever) papers on tDCS:
Does anodal tDCS over M1 really enhance motor sequence learning? A non-replication of earlier findings in a double-blind, pre-registered large-sample study in humans

As we ended, we need a philosopher to help us out :) I think it is an edge case, but for me, it is just over the edge and more like faking data - albeit just a summary statistic - and not inflating the error rate of the actual p-values. Yeah, I guess I think I was really right 😅

It is interesting how LinkedIn has become the academic networking site. After giving a talk in a new community, you used to get new followers in places like this. But now, you only get new connection requests on LinkedIn. Different times!

No.

Did I buy it anyway?

Yes, yes I did.

Tomorrow I will be in Nijmegen to talk at the VVSOR meeting on when and why we make dichotomous claims based on statistical tests at a meeting about philosophy in statistics education. www.vvsor.nl/education/ev...

I always a joy explaining why p<.05 is such an important tool.

Only one of these two is what you are paid for by the tax payer, so that should be relatively simple 😏

I went to Rotterdam for a reproducibility therapy session with @lakens.bsky.social. I am happy to report that the patient is doing much better—maybe due to a placebo effect. Who knows.

Doing the right thing, just because it is the right thing is underappreciated by academics.

People sometimes say they do not have time to do open science. But they can use the time they would have needed 40 years ago to send and request paper copies of articles to read the literature.

Somehow we never acknowledge where we gained time that we can invest in open science.

People kept buying incandescent light bulbs, even though LED lights were better for the environment and cheaper in the long run. But incandescent light were cheap in the short term. In the end, the EU had to ban incandescent lights.

The adoption of Open Science works same.

I love the idea that we’ll see change in clinical psych re: open science adoption when the messaging tone changes. lol.
