Lisa Peeters @lisapeeters.bsky.social · 15d

The first preprint of my PhD is out! Our review maps choices that researchers make throughout an ESM study from start to finish, including reporting and open science practices. We compare our findings to previous literature where possible, but also provide novel insights! osf.io/preprints/ps...

Thoughtful piece about the influx of suspicious #preprints (some involving AI) to PsyArXiv & other preprint servers. Wee mention of me and some of the preprint monitoring I've been doing in collaboration with PsyArXiv. Servers are not going to take this lying down. #OpenScience

Super happy of being invited to give a talk at the Leuven Statistics Day at the same time that #SAA2025 was happening. I presented some recent theoretical results on the consequences of measurement error on bias and statistical power in multilevel models osf.io/preprints/os...

International students upend their lives to join American science, bringing their novel insights that drive innovation.

Now, they are being illegally targeted by Trump, because Harvard won't back down.

Classic bully behavior.

Trump administration revokes Harvard's ability to enroll international students

International students make up more than a quarter of Harvard University's student body. Harvard says the government's actions, which could cut off a major revenue stream, are "unlawful."

In this new preprint @yongzhangzzz.bsky.social investigates how to assess the quality of estimated VAR-based person specific temporal questions with respect to the number of time points.

Yong Zhang @yongzhangzzz.bsky.social · Mar 4

New preprint from our team. We reflect on the usage of VAR-based person-specific temporal networks with a key question:
do we have sufficiently long time-series to estimate a VAR model without overfitting the data? Say no to models that "find meanings in random patterns".

Check this new preprint by @millapihlajamaki.bsky.social introducing an investigation on the temporal dynamics of careless responding in ESM across different samples

Milla Pihlajamäki @millapihlajamaki.bsky.social · Feb 27

The first preprint from my PhD is out: osf.io/preprints/ps...! 🥳

We explored the temporal dynamics of four careless responding indicators (response time, within-beep standard deviation, an inconsistency index, occasion-person correlation) in ESM data across different samples.

What do you think about the use of NLP to extract data from papers in systematic reviews. Could this also jeopardised assessments into what is fake or not? I see more and more interest in using NLP for coding, but I’m worried about risk
