In the last 2 years I (and our lovely collaborators) have been rather obsessively working on Metacheck - a tool to automatically check best practices in papers. In this RIOTS summerschool talk, I walk you through what the tool can do, and future plans youtube.com/watch?v=OWd2zEwh…

One month after opening, Meta-Student has 60 registered users and 10 full project registrations across our pilot studies! That is right on target for what we hoped to see in the first month, and we are delighted with it. Come and join us at meta-student.com/

Meta-Student now has 60 registered users and 10 full project registrations!
Currently in a pilot year, Meta-Student is a collaborative meta-synthesis initiative coordinated by the Sports Science Replication Centre.

If a paper is written by multiple authors, and one is more famous than the rest, it is so insulting to act as if all the ideas in the paper come from the famous researcher.
It is an important tell if you see a scientist do this.

The Journal of Sports Sciences will require open data from 2027: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…
All journals will move to this requirement (the higher quality and the better the editor, the sooner).
Make sure you are ready for this change by learning best practices.

At @JSportsSci we've now moved to the Level 4 (Open) data sharing policy.
Our editorial below announces the policy change, which takes effect from 1 January 2027.

If your Author Accepted Manuscript was supported by @NIH funding, it must be posted publicly to PMC without an embargo. There's no cost and it does not require buying expensive open access plans. Take steps to upload your Author Accepted Manuscript here: nihms.nih.gov/login/?next=/s…
.@JAMAInternalMed recently published a thoughtful piece on public access calling for NIH to assert its position regarding compliance with the NIH Public Access Policy.
NIH has the right to make the Author Accepted Manuscript, which has been supported by taxpayers, public in PubMed Central at time of publication; a right which is independent from any publisher agreement.
This is a free path to compliance for authors, helping us ensure rapid public access to NIH-supported research results.

Such a pleasure to meet @lakens and S.Rasti @TUeindhoven. A short meet that, reinforcing their university values. Looking forward to understand how we can better do research with social relevance #metascience.
Today we will for the first time grade master students in our Metascience course based on an oral exam. The completed weekly assignments, and we will quiz them on what they learned. It's our way to AI proof the course. Curious about how it will work out!

A case of misinformation on academic Bluesky rolfzwaan.substack.com/p/a-c…
Rolf Zwaan, discussing some low quality criticism on the replication studies he is planning by scientists on bluesky:
"Those who wrote the Bluesky posts produced misinformation. Those who liked those posts fell for the misinformation."

At the National Open Science Festival, already very happy to meet so many people working on opening up our science. We will be presenting Metacheck in a hands on workshop later today.
Episode 85: Duae Culturae ift.tt/knJAT4q
New episode of Nullius in Verba! We discuss the 1959 Rede Lecture "The Two Cultures" by C. P. Snow. We reflect on whether there is still a divide between the humanities and the sciences, and how important it is to be educated in both. Enjoy! nulliusinverba.podbean.com/e…
Researchers often can't increase the size of their sample (e.g., due to research constraints). In my paper on sample size justification I discuss approaches to increase power without increasing the sample size (e.g., within designs, reducing variability) lakens.github.io/statistical…
In preparation for a discussion with the lab on AI use tomorrow morning, I thought I would come prepared and write down my thoughts in a blog post: How I use AI in my work

For a metascience project I am trying to download files from Dryad (a popular data sharing platform in ecology). The platform has such strict API limitations that it is unusable for anything else than a single manual download. Please use Zenodo instead. Dryad is horrible.
Now Laura Caquelin is talking at the Paul Meehl Graduate School symposium talking about computational reproducibility, with the results of a randomized controlled trial of reproducibility review.
Now Simon Nolte talking about automated extraction. He is discussing how accuracy, scalability, and transparency should be principles, but difficult to achieve all 3 at the same time.
Now Joeri Tijdink is talking about wellbeing and research waste in academia. You can jump in the live feed to follow along!
We are excited to announce that we are going to broadcast the second day of Meta-Research Symposium 2026 (this Friday on October 9th) for those who were interested but unable to join in person.
