Ik heb geen toegang tot Apache, maar we bespraken de opiniepaper van Guest et al. deze week in de leesgroep van onze faculteit. Dat leverde een boeiend gesprek op, maar we vonden toch allemaal dat het maar een zwakke paper was – ja, het is een opiniestuk, maar toch een wetenschappelijk.
Artikel is het lezen waard. De nodige nuance en realisme waar nodig. Niet dat ik het met iedere zin eens ben, maar dat hoeft ook niet.

This is one of the things that really annoys me – already from when I was still a student myself.
Each year I teach test design I ask the master’s students how much R they’ve learned & there is a pleasant shift (lots of undergrad psych programs in Germany now teach R), but there’s always some variation—like one program relying on excel, and another that starts with R but then switches to SPSS?!

I think Colin is 100% right here. Obviously, fake data, fake citations, etc. are a problem, but I see no reason why they'd be more problematic if authors used AI. Not only does that seem the only workable stance, I also think it's the only principled stance that makes sense.

Interesting paper on peer review bsky.app/profile/last... I think a variation is possible where a journal would actually experiment with such an approach to decide whether to publish a paper or not.
Focus is only on evaluation then but can be combined with improvement if we want that.

The interesting thing about the "crowd-sourced peer review" suggestion is that it seems a journal could implement this. Say you have 200 editorial board members. Instead of asking 2 to review as editorial input, give all of them access to the paper and decide accept/reject if you have 10 votes.

"Simpson's gender-equality paradox" surely deserve some award for best title 👑
The gender-equality paradox seems really central to some narrative people have constructed (and successfully sold). I absolutely wouldn't be surprised if it turned out 100% confounding.>

As everyone is talking about this now, my 2cents: the development of these items is weird (resulting in issues as the one Eiko mentions here). Compare this with the recent work by @petervickers.bsky.social [statement: Science has put it beyond reasonable doubt that COVID-19 is caused by a virus].
Just to double check: you asked experts to agree with quadruple barreled items incl. numerous elements as well as “may be” constructions?

Honest people don’t lie. Or do they? Liars aren’t honest. Or are they?
One puzzling conundrum in contemporary politics is that politicians who seem to be estranged from facts and evidence are nonetheless considered honest by their followers.

I think many of the many-analyst studies are rightly critisized for design issues - notably, participants lacking required domain knowlegde. However, I don't think that's all there is to it. I think much of the observed variability is also due to a lack of precise theory and measurement.
Great thread. I've come to view many-analyst study designs as crisis-mining. They're commonly interpreted in a way to cause alarm for a result they're designed to generate. Metascience needs to move beyond the crisis framing and stop stripping science from its context. Domain knowledge matters.
I spoke with @cathleenogrady.bsky.social for this story on the many analysts paper in ecology. To me the concerning thing is the interpretation, not the (expected) finding.

I’m sorry but this is one of my biggest pet peeves. If you want academica to exist, academics CANNOT be held responsible for making sure every publication and talk is comprehensible to someone with a middle school education in their field. That is an impossible ask and you are blaming the victim
The failure of academia to explain things in layperson terms (up until some efforts recently) is one of the reasons for anti-intellectualism.
When you make science inaccessible, people will opt for those who sell easier solutions.
