Instead of stimulating mostly unproductive debate, #publishers should use their profits to create a data sharing infrastructure with peer review data available to the community for systematic and rigorours research. We suggested this five years ago here: nature.com/articles/d41586-0…
Great to see another preregistration template joining the OSF!
Our #preregistration template for simulation studies, spearheaded by Björn, is now available on OSF! See below for a brief interview with the @OSFramework about the template and why we created it...

Please consider too much text can exclude vulnerable groups / We need to rethink consent forms, too much information may harm.

Applications now open for our PhD course in Open Science and Reproducible Research at @karolinskainst. The course will be in English and fully online. Open to PhD students from anywhere, with no fee. Link follows.
Next week, the QUEST Center for Responsible Research in Berlin is organizing a week of tutorials about all kinds of scientific methods.
I'll feature with a session on Friday about how to best preregister your research. More info: bihealth.org/de/aktuell/love…
An amazing example of thorough and constructive scientific discourse on social media!
It's a privilege to engage with an expert like @JoHenrich on a question as important and foundational as the role of culture in perception. But @DorsaAmir and I think this thread gets several key details wrong, both bigger-picture and finer-grained. Here's how (🧵):

Just stumbled on this tool called Publish or Perish that allows you to save and export your Google Scholar search terms and search results (at least the first 1000).
Could be a great facilitator of the reproducibility of systematic reviews!
