I realized that most students never had to learn this, so I literally spend an entire session just teaching them about files, folders and file paths.

This includes exercises like "Copy a file to your desktop and then tell me what the file path for this file is"

Survey folks, what are people’s recent experiences with online panels in terms of:

1. Panel quality (bots/LLMs)?
2. Representativeness?
3. Cost + time to complete?

Best practices welcome!

Updating my own teaching using the excellent "Statistical Rethinking" resources from @rmcelreath.bsky.social , but am wondering if someone has already done some work adapting it to a political science / psychology context? Any pointers are welcome.

What is the hive mind view of the Frontiers (e.g frontiers in political science) journals ? I have seen some controversy about them being predatory, but also have seen colleagues publish interesting papers in them.

Some researchers don't discuss their future research plans for fear of being scooped.

Not me. I drop bad ideas for unscrupulous people to 'steal'.

- What are the neural correlates of Open Science practices?
- What is the role of habits in learning a new skill through repetitive practice?

This is very useful. Thank you very much!

Does anyone have recommmendation for papers in "mainstream" political science that problematize this polarization framing?

Together with the great colleagues @i4replication.bsky.social, we are organizing the first Münster replication games (28/11/25)! Highly recommended to junior & senior scholars. Joint project together with #MueCOS & #CDSC @uni-muenster.de. More info/registration: indico.uni-muenster.de/event/3526/

Trying to apply a regex-based dictionary to a (fairly large) corpus in Quanteda, and my computer is chocking hard on it. Are there any tips for optimizing such tasks that other users may have?

I found the new moleskins to bleed ink like crazy. My personal favorites are dingbat notebooks, then Leuchtturm and then moleskine .

It is not exactly what you are looking for, but situations like this (for me at least) are often conected to double-binds .

"Trust me, Bro!": You should read this working paper if you consider using commercial #LLM endpoints for annotating #TextAsData

Seoul novelty hats as political science concepts. A thread.

I am so glad I am not the only one this happens to.

How are the classic social identities (urban-rural, education, etc. ) and perceptions about those groups related to a persons own European and national identity? Read it here (in fantastic company) in print

Wir brauchen Daten!

Im Rahmen eines meiner Seminare @powimz.bsky.social sollen die Studis auch eigene Erfahrungen mit der Datenerhebung sammeln. Dazu haben wir eine kleine Umfrage zusammengestellt (ca. 15 Min.). Wir sind dankbar für jede*n Teilnehmer*in :)

Excited to celebrate Anna Huang‘s first first-authored paper just published in EJSP. 🥳
In this theoretical article, Anna explores how Social Identity Theory (SIT) and Self-Categorization Theory (SCT) apply to individuals with Mixed racial-ethnic identities.

Researchers interested in #unfairness: Is there any PolSci/SoSci lit emp. analyzing the correlation btw. different dimensions of perceived unfairness? That is, NOT procedural vs. distributional, but btw. economic, political, cultural, life unfairness (perceptions)? Suggestions greatly appreciated!

I want this kind of commentary on TV
