How does the science reform movement align with broader changes in the academic landscape? Tom Hostler tackles this question in a new article on “Scientific reform, post-academic research, and academic identity”: markrubin.substack.com/p/scien

"Discretion in research practice should perhaps not be seen as a weakness or a fault in the scientific method, but rather an integral part of it."

I'm looking for dataset/metrics for estimating domain distance between pairs of research publications.

I'm thinking of sth like the patent classification system (used to estimate technological distance between patents: arxiv.org/pdf/1503.02373.pdf), but for research papers.

“Instead of focusing purely on replicability, we should strive to maximize transparency, rigor, and quality in all aspects of research.”

New review summarises the structural, procedural, and community changes following the replication crisis.

Preregistration:

Interesting new article in the Journal of Trial and Error proposes that we establish core preregistration criteria (i.e., a minimum amount of information required to consider a preregistration complete) and only award preregistered badges only to articles that meet those criteria.

Selfish Scientists

Researchers who thought of themselves as “scientists” saw themselves as less warm, fair, cooperative, likeable.

“The reminder of being a member of the scientific community that incentivizes individual gain might make researchers less willing to share their knowledge with peers.”

Altenmüller et al. (2023). doi.org/10.32872/spb.10011

Rethinking Transparency and Rigor from a Qualitative Open Science Perspective

“The aim of this paper is to challenge the current quantitative-focused mainstream understanding of transparency and rigor within the open science movement and suggest additional considerations relating to these concepts from qualitative research paradigms.”

Motives for Not Sharing Data:

"We found no robust empirical evidence for the claim that not sharing research data for reanalysis is associated with consistency errors."

What role does philanthropy play in Science?
Much more important than you think: arxiv.org/abs/2206.10661

Replications Welcome!

“Replicators seem to believe that their work is seen as hostile (Nosek and Errington 2020; Nosek et al. 2022). In response, they are likely to see the outside world as a source of threats….However, the current results suggest that replicators possibly overestimate the risk of negative reactions to their work.”

A narrow definition of “research quality”

"[Preregistration, computational reproducibility of analyses, and replication studies] are all methodological procedures which have been developed from a narrow perspective of positivist epistemology, quantitative methodology, and a-priori confirmatory hypothesis testing.”
