This is incredible.
No. Wait.
It is amazing.

oof

Hey @drrobmoore.bsky.social dreams come true!

🏆 achievement unlocked 🏆
initial submission: minor revision
resubmission: major revision

I don't believe I have ever accomplished this feat before.

As many work to finish up #AERA26 submissions, @agustingarcia.bsky.social just told me that #AERA27 is going to be in Toronto, Canada! 🇨🇦

Yep, a good point. I either know what "Author (Year)" refers to, breaking blindness, or I don't, in which case I can't evaluate that part of the manuscript.

Research replication can determine how well science is working – but how do scientists replicate studies? Replication research can take the temperature on how accurate science in a given field is, but research replication is easier said than done.

I wrote a popular press article about Replication Research! First time writing like this, but it was pretty fun. theconversation.com/research-rep...

Need to update your data? Follow these five tips Researchers engaged in long-term projects often need to update their data sets over time. Here’s how to do it while maintaining reproducibility.

I really appreciate being given the opportunity to contribute to this Nature article on best practices for versioning shared data! 🫱📂🫲

I actually really like getting the emails to see how others reviewed the manuscript. But not as much as I like getting decisions on my own manuscripts.

Getting a "Decision on manuscript" email, only to discover it is about something I reviewed and not my manuscript.

Congrats!!!

wait. was THIS your Bastille Day countdown???

My guy. Based on this post, I hope you sprinkle in some proofing after some well earned rest!

Sadly, the most surprising part of your story is that you got a review done in only an hour. How?!?

in the short quotation example (same link), it ends with a period. Why the two orders?

I know there's a lot going on, but today I am stuck marveling at the recommendation of no punctuation after the page number parenthetical at the end of block quotations in APA style. apastyle.apa.org/style-gramma...

When did you become a Bastille Day guy?

Being a social scientist means holding two truths at once: 1. This is all deeply complicated 2. I have to submit something by Tuesday

I once silently stood next to Michael Fassbender at the airport while we saw several people who ordered after us get their food before we did. We made eye contact after the fourth person got their food. I did not have the courage to look back when my order came up.

not to bash your ego even more, but I stumbled across this last week: scholar.google.com/citations?us...

Wow, congratulations, Dr. Johnson! I eagerly await to tell everyone, "I knew her way back when"!

‘A big win’: Dubious statistical results are becoming less common in psychology Fewer papers are reporting findings on the border of statistical significance, a potential marker of dodgy research practices

Thrilled to see a news piece by @science.org on my recent paper. By analyzing p-values across >240k papers, the study suggests that the rate of statistically questionable findings in psychology has declined since the replication crisis began
