#metascience — Public Fediverse posts

This week I'm taking a break from #MetaScience / #OpenScience and getting back into #SCIENCE!

I'm at the Rank Symposium on "21st Century Colour Vision" 👁️🧠🌈🤓

Got Colour Vision questions? AMA!
(If I don't know the answer I'll have lots of people to pass the question on to...)

Research collaborations often start out vague, and participants may have different expectations about issues like workload, authorship, publication form, and open science. We are developing a toolkit where project initiators can state how they foresee the collaboration, and potential collaborators can evaluate if the project is right for them.

Please try it out and give feedback!

📄 "To Be FAIR: Theory Specification Needs an Update"

New paper in Perspectives on Psychological Science: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/17456916251401850

Semantic versioning of theories? Citable theory objects that are reproducible and published independently of classical papers?

Van Lissa et al. (2025) argue that psychological theories need clearer and more systematic specification. The paper adapts the #FAIRprinciples (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) – well known from open data – to the way theories are defined, documented, and communicated.

Check out this paper on different conceptions of #reasoning and how it impacts the debate about whether #AI models can do it. 👇

This is very meta... essentially someone who is in the business of writing fake papers has written a fake paper criticizing Pubpeer and post publication peer review as being vulnerable to “misuse” and “hyper-skepticism.

Looking forward to speaking at the JISC community event next week (10th September, 11am, online) about implementing Electronic Lab Notebooks at the Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute

I'll be discussing our activities in:

📱In-lab hardware
💻Data management
🥼User feedback
🧪#ResearchIntegrity
📑 #Metascience with a UKRI grant
🍞 (possibly) addressing the important question of what self-service checkouts can teach us about #ELNs

A #Metascience Study of the #LowCode #Scientific #Field 📊📊

We aimed to:
☑️ Analyze the composition and growth (e.g., size, diversity, venues, and topics) of the emerging #LowCode #community; and
☑️ Explore how these aspects differ from those of the “classical” #modeldriven community.

This covers #ResearchQuestions such as:

❓Are Low-Code #publications affecting the number of traditional #Modeling publications?
❓How many Modeling conferences and workshops aim to explicitly attract Low-Code publications?
❓How are authors distributed across Low-Code and traditional Modeling publications?
❓ How many Low-Code open-source platforms and tools explicitly relate to traditional Modeling techniques?

Lots of interesting insights 🤯🤯🤯

Read the post for the full details ⬇️⬇️⬇️ and/or meet me at the next #STAF #ECMFA conference in #Koblenz next month

Excited to announce that we are recruiting a Research Associate for this #UKRI-funded #metascience research grant investigating the roll-out of Electronic Research Notebooks (ERNs)

For full details of the role, and information on how to apply, please visit https://www.jobs.manchester.ac.uk/Job/JobDetail?JobId=31714

This is a great opportunity to enhance research practice, support #OpenResearch and #FAIR data, and have a positive impact on researchers in #Manchester and across the UK

Will this one simple trick get people to think more reflectively? As usual, no.

In two experiments in multiple countries, a brief scientific article describing the benefits of intuitive or reflective thinking didn't impact performance on tests of intuitive and reflective thinking.

I’m part of the #EEGManyLabs project testing the #replicability of influential #EEG studies. We are using #PredictionMarkets as a tool in this effort and you are invited to take part, especially if you have some expertise in EEG research, no matter how little. See below for details.

You may well know about the success of “prediction markets” in forecasting the likelihood of replication (e.g., Dreber et al., PNAS 2015). We are delighted to announce that we have partnered with economists who led these seminal studies to test the wisdom of the EEG community.

From today (as we near the end of recruitment for this project - please see last calls below), we are opening a survey to ask you to vote on the likelihood of some hypotheses studied in the #EEGManyLabs project. Subsequently, you will be invited to bet on the likelihood of success through a stock market platform, where you will earn real money for you or a selected charity.

The success of this effort will become clear when we complete the full project in a few years time. But the results will immediately tell us about the degree of optimism/pessimism amongst our community.

So, please share this widely and place your bets now...

How can I sign up for the prediction markets? Registrations to participate in the prediction markets are administered via the sign-up form linked below. You must have experience of working with EEG (for example, through collecting and/or analysing EEG data, which may be evidenced by having published peer-reviewed articles or preprints with EEG or equivalent experience e.g. designing, collecting and analysing data from EEG experiments).

I’ll be presenting at the Big Team Science conference Karli Nave’s multi-lab EEG replication project about musical beat perception and steady-state evoked brain potentials (aka frequency tagging) next Monday. Hope to see you there if you're into #music, #openscience, #replications, etc.

Spoiler alert: we actually did replicate Nozaradan et al.'s basic effect of auditory imagery on EEG activity, but the observed effect size was quite a bit smaller than the original study, as tends to happen.

There are lots of other good looking presentations too of course. Registration is free or inexpensive with suggested donation and completely online.
