- Reposted by Frauke BeyerComparing registrations to published papers is essential to research integrity - and almost no one does it routinely because it's slow, messy, and time-demanding. RegCheck was built to help make this process easier. Today, we launch RegCheck V2. 🧵 regcheck.app

- Reposted by Frauke BeyerYou can specify relative position in ggplot with I(x) I(y). E.g. annotate("text", x = I(.5), y = I(.5), label = "hello!") will place the text in the middle of the plot. This, combined with alignment arguments is like 87% of the magic for me.

View full threadReposted by Frauke BeyerThe Pro Initiative is one step pushing into that direction: www.opennessinitiative.org, essentially putting pressure on journals by only reviewing when code and data are made available. At Psych Science we now more explicitly engage with the code and it is a *ton* of work.
- Reposted by Frauke BeyerThese openscience.nl grants are wonderful. Lavaan is a stand out in quality and impact. Open software supports so much research in academia and industry, but exists in some unincentivized gray zone. At the same time, so much software is poorly documented and tested. Fix with recognition and support
- I've used Lavaan almost every (work)day for 15 years, but this open source labour of love has never received proper institutional support. I'm delighted to be a small part of an 1.5M OpenScienceNL award, led by Jorgensen, to completely revamp and futureproof Lavaan www.openscience.nl/en/news/45-p...
