How strong is the threat to academic freedom? If you are a publishing psychologist, please help us get a better understanding of the threats due to external pressure and self-censorship in the publication process by taking our 5-10 min anonymous survey: t1p.de/t1qof
Results will be shared here!
Our lab has the capacity to test ~500 uni students each semester
If you’re a researcher in cognitive psychology or metascience and need data collection support, we’d love to collaborate. We can help collect high-quality data from a large student sample.
Get in touch to discuss potential projects!
Dear colleagues - we want to better understand perceptions of data fraud and its detection and need your support! Are you currently a #researcher in #psych (or related fields) working with #data? Perfect - please respond to & share this short study (7min): sosci.rlp.net/detection/?r... Thank you!! 🫶

MAP MIT DEM ZPID IN DER GRUPPE DER GERMAN RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS
Thank you, @theo.io!
We found ourself on your formidable bluesky-map.theo.io into the Group of German research Institutions - that's it!
#zpid #research #psychology
I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself!

I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail
Psychological translation differs from biomedicine, requiring frameworks tailored to psychological science!
This, and other insights from the first extensive review of #Translational #PsychotherapyResearch, can be found in Petrule et al. 👇👇👇

Dear all, RDM Compas (KonsortSWD) invites you to participate in an online survey on skills, needs and training requirements in research data management #RDM. If you're working as an RDM professional, we'd love your support!

This first comprehensive mapping of #translational psychological treatment reveals:
🔬 Extinction learning, emotion regulation, & inhibitory learning are most translated
🐢 Preference for simpler mechanisms (methodological) and terminological inconsistencies (conceptual) impede progress
What does the path from basic psychological science to clinical treatment actually look like?
We mapped 50 years of research in our new paper in Clinical Psychology Review with @abitter.bsky.social , Viktoria Ritter, @rief01.bsky.social , & Anke Haberkamp.

Happy to share our analysis of 117,250 open peer review reports (SN) with 140,884 unpublished (anonymized) reports (Elsevier) of medical journals. Open peer review reports are longer, and contain more suggestions and solution sentences. doi.org/10.1016/j.jo...

course schedule as a table. Available at the link in the post.
I'm teaching Statistical Rethinking again starting Jan 2026. This time with live lectures, divided into Beginner and Experienced sections. Will be a lot more work for me, but I hope much better for students.
I will record lectures & all will be found at this link: github.com/rmcelreath/s...

Wrote a short piece arguing that higher ed must help steer AI. TLDR: If we outsource this to tech, we outsource our whole business. But rejectionism is basically stalling. If we want to survive, schools themselves must proactively shape AI for education & research. [1/6, unpaywalled at 5/6] +

Researchers propose new constructs and measures faster than anyone can track. We (@anniria.bsky.social @ruben.the100.ci) built a search engine to check what already exists and help identify redundancies; indexing 74,000 scales from ~31,500 instruments in APA PsycTests. 🧵1/3
Our survey on research practices in Computational Communication Science is still open for participation!

Comparison of the covid19_preprints, Rxivist, and PreprintToPaper datasets

Researchers are often advised to "reveal the person behind the science" in #scicomm to appear more approachable and trustworthy to their audiences. But does this really work? 🤔 In this short piece for Current Opinion in Psych, I review the recent literature... 👇 1/3
doi.org/10.1016/j.co...
We built the openESM database:
▶️60 openly available experience sampling datasets (16K+ participants, 740K+ obs.) in one place
▶️Harmonized (meta-)data, fully open-source software
▶️Filter & search all data, simply download via R/Python

📚 The Status Quo of FAIR Data Sharing in Psychology doi.org/10.23668/psy...
“While data sharing has increased, FAIRness remained limited: datasets were generally findable and interoperable but less accessible and reusable.”
This could not be better timing for my R workshop today (incl. how good practice can contribute to FAIR principles) with @entsresearchgroup.bsky.social ! I shall share with the lab group.
⏰ 1-2pm, today
📍 Teams and UoB 10E 3.2
In a new preprint led by @abitter.bsky.social we tested whether open data is useful for reproducibility and usage based on automated and human assessment of data FAIRness. The short answer is: in the majority of cases not really. For more information 👇
21.10.2025 09:50 — 👍 3 🔁 3 💬 0 📌 0Great work by @abitter.bsky.social @mariogollwitzer.bsky.social @kaisassenberg.bsky.social @t-1m.bsky.social et al. on FAIR data sharing in Psychology.
They also suggest 6 simple checks that can be implemented in the editorial process to improve data FAIRness.
FAIRness differed mainly by repository, with GitHub and OSF showing lower median scores than PsychArchives, Zenodo, and Figshare
How FAIR is shared data in psychology?
We analyzed 11,384 datasets (2013–2024): They're findable, but less reusable!
What relates most to differences in FAIRness? #Repository choice.
