Have you ever worked with microdata from CBS (Statistics Netherlands) or from the LISS panel (or a combination of the two!) and have you made your code available? Please let me know! I am building a code library for users of these data sources and I would like to add as many projects as possible! #computationalsocialsciences #openscience #socialsciences #economics #ODISSEI

New study: "As of 2020, nearly 90% of scholars [in the #SocialSciences] had ever used at least one such [#OpenScience] practice… Scholars in our sample appear to underestimate the use of open science practices in their field…The reported lifetime prevalence of open science practices increased from 49% in 2010 to 87% a decade later."

Hey social science research geeks with a niche interest in obscure human computer interface studies, help me out here.

Has there every been research done on whether the avatar a person is using for an online account influences their online personality and posting style?

#ML #SocialSciences #Science #Replicability: "In our past work, we have shown how errors affect hundreds of papers in over a dozen fields that have adopted ML methods, so we were skeptical of these claims. In our experience, models that try to predict consequential social outcomes are particularly likely to be flawed. Worse, these flaws are often inherent to the use of ML in these settings, and thus not fixable.

So we decided to dig in—through a collaboration led by our colleague, Princeton psychology professor Molly Crockett. Yale anthropology professor Lisa Messeri and Princeton psychology PhD student Xuechunzi Bai were our other collaborators.

We found that the model developed by the authors has major drawbacks, which we describe in a letter sent to PNAS, published earlier this week. We explain why the use of ML for estimating replicability cannot offer a shortcut to the hard work of building more credible scientific practices and institutions.

The model described in the paper was trained on an extremely small sample: just 388 past papers that had been evaluated for replicability in past efforts (such as from a landmark study by the Open Science Foundation)."

I've decided to try to use Mastodon more seriously for work, rather than just for fun (great though it is for that too), so have moved to a more work-related instance. Finally given up on the birdsite, which is broken beyond repair. Looking forward to chatting about #socialsciences teaching and research, as well as general stuff (mainly #ukpolitics and #dogsofmastodon). I'm also currently obsessing over #goodomens.

For those doing work in #DigitalHumanites and #SocialSciences in central Indiana, this series could be of interest!

"Preprints can improve publishing" - @pcirr recommender Charlotte Pennington discusses #preprints & #registeredreports in this feature article published in Nature Human Behaviour! https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-023-01637-2

Let's talk about Registered Reports (RRs) and what @pcirr does...

PCI RR manages peer review of RRs across disciplines - #STEM, #Medicine, #SocialSciences & #Humanities.

Submissions are peer-reviewed & recommended in 2 stages thus increasing #transparency and #rigor in the final work!

It's kinda interesting from a "be-careful-about-sociological-data" perspective: my neighborhood has the city boundary of a major city running through it, and legally speaking, if you stand on one side of the boundary, you're in a city with more than a million inhabitants, while if you stand on the other side of the boundary, you're in a much smaller suburban municipality... #Cities #SocialSciences #UrbanGeography (1/3)
