Methodology prof in psychology at the University of British Columbia working on Schmeasurement. Into big team science, open science, and latent variables. Flake lab does not study flakes.
- And this is why meta analysis is screwed
- Sorry I gave them so much hell on this one but happy to see some solid discussion about the necessity of qualitative approaches. Bravo.

- Help us show there is support for offering registered reports at one of Psychology's leading method's journal! chng.it/TwwnVBScVb
- Reposted by JK Flake"Preregistration" lumps three distinct practices into one: - Study registration - Protocol - Analysis plans (SAPs) To advance open science, it's critical that we distinguish them. 🌟 🌟 Now in-press paper from Evan Mayo-Wilson, @seangrant.bsky.social, David Moher, me: osf.io/preprints/me...

- Reposted by JK FlakeCheck out this awesome new paper about #OpenScience in developing countries! Paper is forthcoming at AMPPS- very proud that we can promote this work. Congrats to the large and international authorship team, and esp @hcp4715.bsky.social for leading the charge. @psychscience.bsky.social
- 🎉 After 2 years of work, our #OpenScience guide for researchers in developing countries is LIVE! Check out our new preprint: osf.io/preprints/ps... We map the opportunities 🌟 + barriers 🧱 facing Global South researchers. *(1/4)*
- Reposted by JK FlakeA new preregistration template for simulation studies is now live on OSF. Thanks to the creators and the preregistration template working group for proposing and shepherding this to make it available to users. See the post if you would like to propose a new template. www.cos.io/blog/introdu...
- Reposted by JK FlakeExperimentology is out today!!! A group of us wrote a free online textbook for experimental methods, available at experimentology.io - the idea was to integrate open science into all aspects of the experimental workflow from planning to design, analysis, and writing.

- Robustness analysis is going to be a big part of the future of how we think about evidence synthesis and rigor - exciting new journal where you can turn your blog posts of other ways the analyses could have been done into papers! Excited to see some submissions come in!
- We are live! Introducing the "Journal of Robustness Reports" – a Diamond Open-Access journal dedicated to publishing short reanalyses of empirical findings. Check out our website and blog post about the journal: 🌐 scipost.org/JRobustRep 📄 www.bayesianspectacles.org/introducing-...
- In the workshop we'll follow an example of developing a survey to measuring pickle fanatism for marketing purposes to learn about how to develop and evaluate survey questions for a variety of purposes. The workshop spans qualitative and quantitative methods. Two days of measurement fun!
- HELP: Many of you will be familiar with the dataset that is often used to teach multilevel modeling with variable such as "MATHACH" and "SES" -- these data are used in papers, textbooks, and software packages. You may have the dataset on your computer, BUT, is it public use data?
- Reposted by JK FlakeChuffed and excited to announce a new journal section in Cortex: *Methods and Assumptions* is open for submissions starting today! Read the opening editorial here (OA): www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 1/

- I have to fix it in my head. This survey validates me.
- Reposted by JK FlakeI’ve long used FiveThirtyEight’s interactive “Hack Your Way To Scientific Glory” to illustrate the idea of p-hacking when I teach statistics. But ABC/Disney killed the site earlier this month :( So I made my own with #rstats and Observable and #QuartoPub ! stats.andrewheiss.com/hack-your-way/
- Hope to see more papers like this that question the performance and trade-offs of more complicated and newer methods with a sample of datasets (not just simulations that can benefit from cherry picking). Combats the publication bias towards new methods and demonstrates on-going comparative work.

- After a long wait, the working paper for the Many-Economists Project: The Sources of Researcher Variation in Economics. We had 146 teams perform the same research three times, each time with less freedom. What source of freedom leads to different choices and results? papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

- 😱 'The sheer number of EFA structures that was deemed 'passing' by CFA fit indices made me realize that perfect simple structure is really more of an assumption than a real tested proposition in CFA.'

- Some stuff I learned while visiting the @psicostat.bsky.social group at the University of Padova. 1. Super old, first psychology department in Italy and one of the first universities in the world 2. Galileo was faculty there and likely lectured from this podium
- Learning about big team science projects with @debruine.bsky.social on day 3 at @psicostat.bsky.social winter school. Good chat about less sexy aspects of working in diverse groups: differences in ethics approval and date formats. Put the year first! 2025-02-19

- I didn’t realize I needed a thread with conference highlights, much better than an email or remembering to check a website. So excited to see everyone in Minnesota this summer!
This year I have the honour of serving the Psychometric Society as its President, and we have been working hard on the program for the International Meeting of the Psychometric Society (IMPS) psychometricsociety.org/imps-2025 You can submit an abstract here: imps2025.exordo.com
- Great history lesson from @lakens.bsky.social with the @psicostat.bsky.social group at the University of Padova. History is repeating itself, but we also get a little better after each crisis was the positive take away for me.
