I liked this paper: Knöchel, T. D., Schweizer, K. J., Acar, O. A., Akil, A. M., Al-Hoorie, A. H., Buehler, F., ... & Aczel, B. (2025). Core principles of responsible generative AI usage in research. AI and Ethics, 1-7.
Under the Open Practices Collection #AMPPS has a lot of papers that might be of interest: journals.sagepub.com/topic/collec... . You can browse the other collections as well. For very accessible AI ethics, I liked this paper...
Say more about what you're looking for... lots on data management, the ethics of data sharing, etc. I happen to list Josh and Don's J Psychopathology and Clinical Science commentary that links data sharing with the ethics code. AMPPS has lots on data management
If you're interested in AI and programming, I highly recommend this fun video-- it's an amazing project from a Cornell CS grad student . Also, this class is no joke!

If you haven’t been inspired by APS in the last few years, give us another look. We want the society to be the leader in rigorous psych science that connects all the parts of the Society together. Hope to see you in Barcelona!!
This is a great resource!

My time as Editor of AMPPS is coming to an end-- here are some parting thoughts. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.... .
This paper provides guidance and tools for conducting open and reproducible systematic reviews in psychology. It emphasizes the importance of systematic reviews for evidence-based decision-making and the growing adoption of open science practices. Open science enhances transparency, reproducibility, and minimizes bias in systematic reviews by sharing data, materials, and code. It also fosters collaborations and enables involvement of non-academic stakeholders. The paper is designed for beginners, offering accessible guidance to navigate the many standards and resources that may not obviously align with specific areas of psychology. It covers systematic review conduct standards, pre-registration, registered reports, reporting standards, and open data, materials and code. The paper is concluded with a glimpse of recent innovations like Community Augmented Meta-Analysis and independent reproducibility checks.
There is no reason why systematic reviews can't be open. The data used for synthesis is *already* open and there are many excellent open source tools that can facilitate the easy sharing of analysis scripts.
Here's a nice guide for performing open systematic reviews doi.org/10.1525/coll...
Thanks for the great endorsement!
Sage webinar on Registered Reports (RRs/RRRs)! I'm excited to participate, and if you have any curiosity about writing a RR or reviewing a RR, please consider joining the webinar. Spread the word-- thanks! @psychscience.bsky.social
I think the container paper is predicated on some knowledge of version control, but to this point, we do have on Git version control paper at AMPPS: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
Found this gem of a paper in the AMPPS archives on using containers in psychological science. What's a container, you ask? Read on...

Just when you were getting used to the term preregistration... New paper at AMPPS calling for improved terminology in the field and better alignment with TOP 2025 . journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
If you wish to submit a Commentary on this paper, please do so by the end of December, 2025. To submit a Commentary, please follow our Submission Guidelines: www.psychologicalscience.org/publications... . The authors of the target article will reply to the accepted Commentary articles as a set.
Call for Commentary articles at AMPPS! We recently accepted a "Effects of Psychological Distance on Mental Abstraction: A Registered Report of Four Tests of Construal Level Theory" (osf.io/preprints/ps...) and are soliciting Commentary articles on this paper.
The Arizona Daily Star ran a great story on @uarizona.bsky.social's decision not to sign the compact for academic excellence. I especially loved this quote
If you do online data collection, this paper is worth checking out! I especially like the access to the codebook, which helps operationalize best practices: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
