Day 2-Corrections and Retractions: Upgrading the Scientific Record This is "Day 2-Corrections and Retractions: Upgrading the Scientific Record" by The National Academies on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the…

With this National Academies committee, I explore some tensions and potential innovations in the approach for correcting the scientific record to advance trustworthiness of research.

I start at 19:00, and the prior presentation by Brian Kennedy at Pew is worth watching.

Metascience Is More Important Now Than Ever Opinion | A growing research field known as ‘the science of science’ will be essential for navigating an uncertain future.

"Metascience is not without its critics. For one, some suggest that metascience could benefit from some humility, as it is not the first field to ask these questions."

I'm excited that our preregistration template for simulation studies is now available on OSF!
See below for a brief interview with the Center for Open Science about the template and why we created it..

If *YOU* would like to propose a new template as part of this ongoing effort, we invite you to fill out our Preregistration Template Submission Form!

📄 ➡️ docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

This is a big step for simulation research and I hope it will encourage others to consider preregistration of simulation studies!

Introducing the Simulation Studies Preregistration Template: Q&A with Björn S. Siepe, František Bartoš, and Samuel Pawel Initially submitted through COS’s open call for community-designed preregistration templates, the Simulation Studies Template is now part of the expanding collection of preregistration resources available on the OSF.

Simulation studies are widely used, but have historically lacked clear guidance around preregistration.

In response to this gap, a team of researchers have developed a new template for preregistering simulation studies, now available on OSF.

@cos.io also recently launched a journal that puts a whole project from conception to publication (including multi-stage review) in one place called the Lifecycle Journal.

If Registered Revisions is like a mini registered report, Lifecycle Journal is like a mega one.

Hi folks! Want to reintroduce a thing I'm leading at @cos.io: the Registered Revisions (meta) Trial.

This project about new peer review policy and a WILD new way of doing actionable evidence generation via RCTs. A LOT of RCTs.

Now piloted and ready for the main stage, and looking for partners! 🧵👇

A Shared Challenge: Evaluating AI’s Impact on Open Research Infrastructure (via @cos.io) www.cos.io/blog/evaluat... #scholcomm #openresearch #preprints #AI

Glad to see @cos.io coming out with a statement about this after an influx of suspicious preprints hit PsyArXiv at the start of July. Many more have appeared since the first one I spotted. I Automated checks can only go so far & documenting all of them is a lot of work. #OpenScience

Researchers value null results, but struggle to publish them Survey finds that fear of reputational harm and a lack of support and publication platforms are among respondents’ key concerns.

Scientists overwhelmingly recognize the value of sharing null results, but rarely publish them in the research literature

A Shared Challenge: Evaluating AI’s Impact on Open Research Infrastructure OSF was designed to make open scholarship possible and easy to adopt, while upholding the values of transparency, credibility, and accountability. As we navigate the evolving role of AI in research, COS remains focused on strengthening open research infrastructure and helping communities embed open practices that foster rigor and trust.

The OSF was designed to make open scholarship possible and easy to adopt. As the role of AI in research continues to evolve, COS is assessing how our infrastructure can deter AI misuse and help researchers share their work in transparent, responsible ways.

The evaluations were timely, thorough, and public... I have been encouraging colleagues to submit work to [Lifecycle Journal and will continue doing so. This initiative can benefit our field substantially. Lifecycle Journal author Julian Keith, Ph.D Professor of Psychology, University of North Carolina

Our goals should be to build a scientific psychology that is on a trustworthy foundation. Scientists should be rewarded for conducting rigorous research, regardless of the outcomes of studies, and all aspects of the work should be available to other scientists who can build on the work. Lifecycle Journal author Julian Keith, Ph.D Professor of Psychology, University of North Carolina Wilmington

Lifecycle Journal offers a new way to share and evaluate research: open, accountable, and designed to support rigorous work across the full research lifecycle. Dr. Keith’s experience highlights how diverse evaluations and a transparent publishing process can advance scientific progress.
