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".

The Brno Replication Games were a success!πŸ₯³ Many thanks to our awesome replicators who spotted a range of coding errors and fixed incorrectly specified models. Many thanks also to @econmuni.bsky.social for having us: you are the reason economists love coming back every year😊

#GDRI_rep Update 8a: Major updates coming up over the next few weeks.

1st update: We reproduced "Parent–teacher meetings and student outcomes" some time ago. The paper was then retracted by the editors of the Euro Econ Rev.

Additional studies are connected (see diagram)

There have been a number of recent articles on statistical power in quantitative political science. This is something that I think deserves more attention and discussion. A short thread of the articles I have read. 🧡

So Science retracted the arsenic life paper because it was wrong? If that's the new standard for retraction, I think they've got a lot of work ahead of them

I really recommend this podcast episode on the story of this paper and the strange non-responses from the journal. A depressing case of how science fails to be self-correcting even in the face of extremely obvious errors.

An engraved paving stone that says "publish." The word appears twice, in mirror image, so you can see it whether you're coming or going.
