💥 Academic freedom - so important!

Please help our research team and take time for their survey:

How strong is the threat to academic freedom? If you are a publishing psychologist, please help us get a better understanding of the threats due to external pressure and self-censorship in the publication process by taking our 5-10 min anonymous survey: t1p.de/t1qof
Results will be shared here!

Dear colleagues - we want to better understand perceptions of data fraud and its detection and need your support! Are you currently a #researcher in #psych (or related fields) working with #data? Perfect - please respond to & share this short study (7min): sosci.rlp.net/detection/?r... Thank you!! 🫶

🚨 Deadline tomorrow! 🚨

We have made public #openscience materials from the Münster Center for Open Science, specifically flyers and cheatsheets on #OpenAccess, #OpenData, and #Preregistration. Flyers are already on Zenodo, Cheatsheets will follow: zenodo.org/communities/muecos/ and lukasroeseler.github.io/MueCOS-Infom...

🫶By joining our team, you won’t just design curriculum — you’ll shape how thousands of scientists learn to do rigorous, trustworthy research. Imagine seeing a student halfway across the world use materials you created to strengthen their science. That kind of impact lasts.

Great work by @abitter.bsky.social @mariogollwitzer.bsky.social @kaisassenberg.bsky.social @t-1m.bsky.social et al. on FAIR data sharing in Psychology.

They also suggest 6 simple checks that can be implemented in the editorial process to improve data FAIRness.
