It was a pleasure, @ukrepro.bsky.social ! A lot of good research got done at the UKRN Replication Games; many thanks to all the amazing researchers :)

University librarian made my Monday:
[I am getting an econometrics textbook]
"Do you know that we have non-academic books too? From the theology collection we have Monty Python."😆

#GDRI_rep Update 9: We have been waiting a couple of months to make two announcements. A few journals were in the process of retracting GDRI article. The editors informed the authors and then lawyers got involved. Who knows how long it will take.

So many interesting folks at the #NOSF2025 in Groningen🤩 Great to see people interested in open science😊

Join us for the virtual Replication Games😍🤓 on Nov 13th! (You don't have to be in the UK - join us from wherever you are😉)

There is still time to apply, join us!

Corrupt editors in "top" journals need to go. It's unacceptable that a publication of a "no name" junior has to clear a much higher bar in terms of pleasing reviewers than a publication of somebody from "the club". It's unacceptable how comments get blocked if the author is "in the club".

We are hiring! Join a strong team to have a real impact on how science is done😊
