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: nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

Here's some good news!
The file drawer problem may have diminished in recent years, at least in social science survey experiments

We investigated how often researchers misinterpret statistically nonsignificant results as the absence of an effect. Spoiler: it’s a lot (~81% of 599 articles)! Dive into our findings and their implications here: osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/hm…

Do pre-registration & registered reports reduce research waste? (spoiler, YES, based on 26 meta-studies)
Would love to get your feedback, especially on proposed measures to increase registration in ecology
