"From March 2026, moderators have added additional checks to ensure that authors have complied with all the terms of service for PsyArXiv. Moderators will also use authors’ past publication record to establish scholarly expertise for formats such as reviews, case studies, opinion pieces, etc. or topics where moderators have less experience, such as theories of consciousness, linguistics, philosophy, psychiatry, computational theory, etc. Such formats and topics require more specialist knowledge to establish whether they are in scope as scientific psychology, and what their scholarly contribution represents; hence, submissions cannot be evaluated by moderators in only a few minutes, and we rely on established scholarship to inform decisions. Submissions also need to be complete enough that they represent an independent contribution to the field of psychology, so slide decks and working papers presented as notes or research proposals or with incomplete methods will no longer be accepted into the archive, as they also require more than a few minutes to evaluate. We encourage authors to use OSF projects to record and version work-in-progress. However, PsyArXiv continues to accept stage 1 registered reports, where they pass standard checks for well-crafted registered reports. "

Does anyone know of any really good and open source genealogy websites or webtools? Just thinking with the development of tools to help source journal articles and their connections, this might be possible for tracing families. Any suggestions welcome.

I was so lucky as Glasgow increased their paternity leave from 2 weeks to 4 weeks on January 1st. Part of me feels guilty as friends could not benefit from that. I genuinely don’t know how we would have coped if I had to go back after 2 weeks, so employers, sort yourselves out.

Exciting news! The @yorkpsychology.bsky.social are recruiting 3 new ART (research and teaching) lecturers! One role will be prioritised for cognitive, affective and/or social neuroscience.

What does it say about you and your talks if it took you far too long to realise only one was yawning in the first group! Asking for a friend of course!

PsyTeachR Psychologists from @UofGPsychNeuro advocating open, reproducible methods teaching.

In case it helps our psyteachr.github.io materials are heavily based in tidyverse for the reasons you and others have said and has been really successful. The one downside I would say is tidyverse updates more frequently than base so you might need more regular adjustments to materials yearly

Let’s be honest, not even Ai can figure out how to reclaim travel expenses at a Uni!

At this rate you got to get good odds on Kemi Badenoch defecting to Reform by mid February, blaming the lack of leadership in the Tory party!

Thanks Niamh! Really appreciate that.

I am still a bit sorry I couldn’t quite get to use my “Lycr-AI” pun, but the article is probably better for it! 😉

Interesting and thoughtful article from @philmcaleer.bsky.social & @drhelenapaterson.bsky.social

Well worth a read ahead of the new academic year

Malcolm Gladwell's "Blink" If Books Could Kill · Episode

Great episode of one of the best podcasts, #IfBooksCouldKill, covering aspects of psychology like first impressions, thin slicing, social priming, bias, Bargh & Bem, as well as a sprinkling of reproducibility. Fun to hear an external sceptical take on these studies. open.spotify.com/episode/2hcN...
