10 years after we created Registered Reports, the thing critics assured us would never (in a million years) happen has happened: @Nature is offering them.

The Registered Reports initiative just went up a gear and we are one step closer to eradicating publication bias and reporting bias from science.

Congratulations to all involved in achieving this milestone.

Have you ever heard someone claim that Many Labs 2 showed that sample source doesn't much matter? That the WEIRD issue is overblown?

ML2 not only *didn't* show that, it fundamentally *couldn't have shown that* because it wasn't designed to strongly test cultural variability.

Very happy to see our paper on the Open Data badge at Psych Science published *in* Psych Science! It even received the honour of an extended editor's note -- a first for the journal. Give it a read and let us know what you think!

Wir schreiben das Jahr 2023. Journalist*innen schreiben immer noch "XY ist an den Rollstuhl gefesselt." Der einzige Grund, warum ich im Rollstuhl sitze, ist, dass ich mich heute Morgen reingesetzt habe. Das macht mein Leben wirklich einfacher - ganz ohne gefesselt werden.

Dass das niemanden wundert, dass die letzte Generation plötzlich mit Telefonstreichen von sich Reden machen soll. Naja, wird schon alles seine Richtigkeit haben. 🫶

Today’s social media status quo isn’t cutting it, so Mozilla is exploring an alternative here on Mastodon. In early 2023, Mozilla will be testing a publicly accessible instance in the Fediverse at Mozilla.Social. We will keep you updated, but for now learn more here: mzl.la/3BNXQMQ

The friendship paradox is the observation that most people have fewer friends than their friends have, on average. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friendship_paradox

There's a version of this for social media. For most people, the average post that shows up in their feed will have more boosts/likes/replies etc. than their own posts do.

Perhaps if more people knew about the friendship paradox, it would help them avoid online social comparison and all the ills that come with it. https://jedfoundation.org/resource/understanding-social-comparison-on-social-media/

My department is hiring an Assistant Professor of Social Data Science! I would love for this job to go to someone knowledgeable about open science, reproducibility, and meta-science. Our department is fun, supportive, and has extensive expertise in structural equation modeling, Bayesian stats, regularization, text mining, meta-science, and research synthesis. The campus has a small forest, and the city can be easily reached from Utrecht, Rotterdam, even Amsterdam. https://tiu.nu/21154

und diese Ratte, von der Sie da reden, die kann kochen? Einfach so? Wo soll sie denn das gelernt haben? Also sicher, es gibt viele Ratten und auszuschließen ist es nicht, dass eine von ihnen kochen kann, aber ausgerechnet in Paris? Erscheint mir dann doch etwas kitschig

Ich finds auf jeden Fall voll cool, wie wir ganzen Dummköpfe aus dem Ottonormalinternet jetzt hier mit unseren schmutzigen Straßenschuhen durchs #Fediverse stapfen.

Twitter has had the same functionality for about 8 hours now and honestly it's getting kind of stale.

Gerade mal wieder kurz am alten Vogelkäfig vorbeigeflogen 🐦 Der Autohändler denkt sich jeden Tag vier bis fünf neue features aus, aber sie wollen noch nicht so recht zünden…

What’s the prior probability of a hypothesis being true in #psychology?

* Dreber et al (2015; 10.1073/pnas.1516179112) give an estimate of 9%.

* Wilson & Wixted (2018; 10.1177/2515245918767122) estimate 6-10% for social psych and 27% for cognitive psych.

Are there any other papers estimating this quantity?

(Asking for our #MetaScience project, where we want to calibrate our agent based model #ABM of academia.)
