#MetaROR launch at #AIMOS2024 @aimosinc.bsky.social @rorinstitute.bsky.social @jameswilsdon.bsky.social #metascience It's the content that counts!
I was glad to present on "Good News from Metascience" at #AIMOS2024 where I pointed out several positive trends or improvements that metascientific research has enabled in science and policy. Slides here osf.io/swfqk
“Retractions are everywhere …And that’s good news.”
- Ivan Oransky
Even the good news at this conference is a little backhanded!

Amazing talk on wrongful convictions by @barbobrien.bsky.social last night! Love learning from different fields.
This slide got me, the majority of exonerations occur due to perjury/false accusations (orange) or official misconduct (purple).

A fantastic and very insightful plenary by @barbobrien.bsky.social at #AIMOS2024! Whether it's wrongful convictions or academia, common obstacles to preventing, detecting, and correcting errors remain. #metaresearch
For #AIMOS2024, my team presented on research to improve research in global development, or developmental meta-research.
This new subfield still works to improve research, but not just its replicability.
We outline an agenda in our edited book, “A Better How”

A great plenary at #AIMOS2024 on the state of #metascience, and how it has expanded and diversified over the past 5 years. An exciting place to work in:)
Infographic discussion primer about paper mills. It explains, for example, that paper mills are a toxic business model that preys upon the perverse incentive structures of academia. A diagram of a conveyor belt explains how shoddy papers are produced, and then sold to authors, using AI, and by manipulating editors and publication processes.
Friendly request to people at #AIMOS2024, since many of you work on paper mills: Pls tell me how I could make this even better. If there were a page 2, what do you think it should say?

4. Love the point about how crazy it is to think that science-policy should be developed by ‘singularly brilliant’ individuals such as Nobel prize winners.

James Wilson’s plenary:
1. I prefer “metaresearch” to “metascience”. Better describes full range of subject matter.
2. Discipline is older than a century! Francesco Redi in the 17thC was obsessed with replicating rather than creating new experiments.
3. Good joke about parking spaces.

The peer review system needs change. Let’s make publishing faster, more efficient, and rewarding 📈
Join us on 21 Nov at #AIMOS2024 or online on 26 Nov for the launch of MetaROR - an open platform by RoRI & AIMOS making reviews visible & reusable.
