It was an honour to represent the National Reproducibility Networks (like the UKRN) at the launch of the Network for Education and Research Quality at the European Commission last week. It’s a community covering themes of #researchquality #researchintegrity and #openresearch

Remember Bem's "Feeling the future", one of the events that kicked off the #replicationCrisis in #psychology in 2011?

Now @kekecsz et al published a replication report that showcases best practices (https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsos.191375):
* Consensus protocol based on adversarial collaboration
* born open data
* Video-verified training
* real-time updating report
* external audit
* ...

Great work. It's amazing to compare the #researchQuality of 2011 with this cutting edge showcase. How far we have come!

@karolina @pwgtennant If meta-science involves careful critical appraisal and an assessment of methodological and reporting quality, then bad science doesn't prevent meta-science from proceeding. Naïve analyses will admittedly be GIGO. #MetaScience #BadScience #ResearchQuality #CriticalAppraisal

🧮How can we measure #researchQuality in psychology?

@DORAssessment tells us what *not* to do. A working group (commissioned by the @DGPs_Berlin & in the spirit of #CoARA) now proposed a way to practically measure RQ in hiring & promotion, w/o resorting to JIF or h-index.

🧮 How can we measure #researchQuality in #psychology?

The #DORA declaration tells us what *not* to do. But what to do instead?

Reflecting on ~3 years of #InfectiousDisease #Epidemic #modelling for COVID-19, I'm trying to herd various fuzzy ideas into a clear narrative about how research software engineering (#RSE) can support #Reproducibility and #ResearchQuality (in computational fields, at least). Particularly when timelines are tight.

The essence is: mistakes will be made; how can I detect them as early as possible, fix them, and ensure they don't happen again?

#VersionControl #SoftwareTesting

I started a company this year that makes training for researchers to promote #ResearchQuality.
Our first course is getting really good interest. It's so pleasing! If you know a university that could do with better #ResearchIntegrity training, could you let them know we exist?
