representativeness is a big issue for BTS.

our argument is backed by a new study, from Cindel White & @michael.muthukrishna.com: "more highly educated ppl are significantly more culturally similar to WEIRD countries, such as the Anglosphere and Western Europe." www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Is "big-team science" more generalizable? These authors argue it creates an illusion of generalizability. For what it's worth, these critiques apply to my work too!

On to Part 2 👀 #OpenScience

Really looking forward to this!

The new semester has begun in the Year of the Horse! We’re honored to have @dorsaamir.bsky.social l and @chazfirestone.bsky.social share their recent *Psychological Review* paper: Is visual perception WEIRD?

Read the paper: doi.org/10.1037/rev0...

Today we mark the International Day of Women and Girls in Science 👩‍🔬

In Serbia, structural barriers in academia are still very real, so celebrating women in science also means recognizing resilience, solidarity, and everyday persistence.

Finally this long-last meta-research is done!
We examine the demographics of subject from 1000 Chinese psych journal articles & 27 big-teams science.

Findings: these participant are not representative of the 🇨🇳population, in terms of sex, age, & edu.

PCI Webinar Series - Peer Community In The PCI webinar series is a series of seminars on research practices, publication practices, evaluation, scientific integrity, meta-research, organised by Peer Community In

📣 Save the date for the 13th PCI webinar on December 1st, 2025, at 4 PM CET!! Simine Vazire (University of Melbourne, Australia) will present "Recognizing and responding to a replication crisis: Lessons from Psychology". For more details and registration, visit: buff.ly/wZNoD2v

Screenshot of an article abstract. Title: Statistics in Service of Metascience: Measuring Replication Distance with Reproducibility Rate Authors: Erkan O. Buzbas and Berna Devezer Abstract: Motivated by the recent putative reproducibility crisis, we discuss the relationship between the replicability of scientific studies, the reproducibility of results obtained in these replications, and the philosophy of statistics. Our approach focuses on challenges in specifying scientific studies for scientific inference via statistical inference and is complementary to classical discussions in the philosophy of statistics. We particularly consider the challenges in replicating studies exactly, using the notion of the idealized experiment. We argue against treating reproducibility as an inherently desirable property of scientific results, and in favor of viewing it as a tool to measure the distance between an original study and its replications. To sensibly study the implications of replicability and results reproducibility on inference, such a measure of replication distance is needed. We present an effort to delineate such a framework here, addressing some challenges in capturing the components of scientific studies while identifying others as ongoing issues. We illustrate our measure of replication distance by simulations using a toy example. Rather than replications, we present purposefully planned modifications as an appropriate tool to inform scientific inquiry. Our ability to measure replication distance serves scientists in their search for replication-ready studies. We believe that likelihood-based and evidential approaches may play a critical role towards building statistics that effectively serve the practical needs of science. Keywords: replication distance; reproducibility rate; philosophy of statistics; scientific inference; idealized experiment; minimum viable experiment

I'd like to re-up this paper we published last year bec I believe it makes a fundamental contribution to theoretical metascience but it is woefully underappreciated. We address a key challenge in estimating the reproducibility of a result: The distance of a replication study from the original. 1/n

🌍It’s Open Science Week!🔓
From Oct. 20–26, we join the global community in celebrating open access to knowledge and research.
💡This year’s theme “Who Owns Our Knowledge?” invites us to reflect on how research & education are shared, who creates knowledge, & whose voices are recognized in shaping it.

Learn about the process and unique benefits of reporting your research using APA Style Journal Article Reporting Standards (JARS). Hear from experts Heidi Levitt, PhD, & Arthur Nezu, PhD, as they discuss the standards from their perspectives as editors, instructors, & researchers bit.ly/499xTsj

New research in JEP: Human Perception and Performance from @xinchiyu.bsky.social et al. shows that prior semantic knowledge helps people remember brief glimpses of everyday objects, highlighting how memory and perception work together in daily life. Editor's Choice article: https://bit.ly/4gT8Prl
