@lakens So, which aspects can we automate?

[Olmo van den Akker @DenOlmo]

@squazzoni @squazzoni, will you be at the Peer Review Congress? Would be great to connect there (and solve the peer review crisis)😄

[Olmo van den Akker @DenOlmo]

@squazzoni I fully agree! Journals should take their responsibility to ensure the scientific process is as efficient and high-quality as possible. Meta-research on peer review could help a lot to find better ways of doing things.

[Flaminio Squazzoni @squazzoni]

Instead of stimulating mostly unproductive debate, #publishers should use their profits to create a data sharing infrastructure with peer review data available to the community for systematic and rigorours research. We suggested this five years ago here: https://t.co/EFCohuvKyY

Great to see another preregistration template joining the OSF!

[František Bartoš @BartosFra]

Our #preregistration template for simulation studies, spearheaded by Björn, is now available on OSF! See below for a brief interview with the @OSFramework about the template and why we created it...

I just became president of a scientific society and my first act was to disagree with one of my heroes...Arie Kruglanski gave a keynote arguing social psychology needs MORE Big Beautiful Theories. I think that's exactly backwards. Here's why...

New report on the first year of the UK's Metascience Unit - never more important given the contestable nature of science & innovation investment right now #Metascience2025 https://t.co/eRaaUPKTFu

Excellent meta-research: A trial within a large trial shows that consent form length impacts recruitment.
Please consider too much text can exclude vulnerable groups / We need to rethink consent forms, too much information may harm.

@squazzoni @ISI_Fondazione Is this available online?

[Olmo van den Akker @DenOlmo]

@lakens Sure, but I think PVV's science skepticism plays a role as well

Scientists: size (of your peer review) doesn't matter, it's about the *content*

Here's some good news!

The file drawer problem may have diminished in recent years, at least in social science survey experiments

"This suggests increased recognition of the importance of null results."

@lakens Sieht gemutlich aus. Sorry I couldn't make it

Next week, the QUEST Center for Responsible Research in Berlin is organizing a week of tutorials about all kinds of scientific methods.

I'll feature with a session on Friday about how to best preregister your research. More info: https://t.co/xzzochY5lq
