Public appreciation post for @juliabottesini.com! The community doesn't know the great lengths Julia has gone to restabilize operations at PsyArXiv. We're all incredibly lucky to have her. Many, many hours and a great deal of thought/care have gone into the task. Thank you, Julia!
🥳 PsyArXiv is back to normal operations 🥳
Thanks to the fantastic team of moderators (thank you all🙏), PsyArXiv has resumed normal operations. You can expect any newly posted or edited preprint to be moderated within 24-72 hours of submission.

Many social scientists seem to think so, and are already using "silicon samples" in research.
One problem: depending on the analytic decisions made, you can basically get these samples to show any effect you want.
