Public appreciation post for @juliabottesini.com! The community doesn't know the great lengths Julia has gone to restabilize operations at PsyArXiv. We're all incredibly lucky to have her. Many, many hours and a great deal of thought/care have gone into the task. Thank you, Julia!

Great to see this out! Only ~23% of psychology journals have a post-publication critique format (e.g., letter to the editor). Some impose strict limits (e.g., 400 words & 4 weeks to submit). Critiques are rarely published — in two random samples of 101 empirical articles we found only 1 critique.

Annie Whamond @anniewham.bsky.social · 21d

Excited to finally have my first paper officially published! "How Do Psychology Journals Handle Postpublication Critique?" is now online with AMPPS. Huge thanks to my supervisors @tomhardwicke.bsky.social and @simine.com and co-authors @bethclarke.bsky.social, N Moodie, S Schiavone, and R Thibault ☺️

‼️Cool new paper‼️

Finds that journal data policies in psychology boost sharing statements to ~100%, but only about half of datasets are complete, understandable, reusable.

Research replication can determine how well science is working – but how do scientists replicate studies?

Replication research can take the temperature on how accurate science in a given field is, but research replication is easier said than done.
