- Can you get data if a journal has an open data policy? lol no OK... can you get data if a paper says "data available on request"? still no tbh But! -- can you get data if the data availability policy says 'YES YOU CAN HAVE OUR DATA' yeah still no actually
- I wrote a blog for the Meta-Research Center expressing my infinite frustration about not getting data. What else is new, you might think? Well, I added an extra layer of annoyance directed at the journals who do NOTHING to enforce promised data sharing. metaresearch.nl/blog/2026/2/...

- Dance like nobody's watching, love like you've never been hurt,
- Live your life so that you never have to publish an op-ed in the campus newspaper about your connection with Jeffrey Epstein dukechronicle.com/article/my-c...
- 💯 hier meine Standardantwort
- Drücke soeben Apfel-C. Und gleich darauf Apfel-V. 😅
- Unpopuläre Meinung: Expert:inneninterviews mit Wissenschafter:innen im Rahmen von BA-Arbeiten gehören abgeschafft. Interviews binden erhebliche Zeitressourcen für ein „Expert:innenwissen“, das in unseren Publikationen öffentlich zugänglich ist – dann doch lieber Literaturarbeit.
- In der Schweiz scheint mir das übrigens sogar noch gängiger als in Ö und De. Wurde letztens sogar mal angerufen mit einer solchen Anfrage.
- Erschreckend. Es ist ja auch einfach schlechte Methodenlehre. 🫣

- New paper from the lab! We explore the concept of red vs blue teaming to develop techniques to defend against de-anonmiysing attempts of a fairly typical Qualtrics dataset arxiv.org/abs/2601.19575

- Anders ist das bei Expert:inneninterviews mit Praktiker:innen: Deren Erfahrungs-, Prozess- und Kontextwissen ist meist nicht öffentlich zugänglich. Hier können Interviews tatsächlich einen empirischen Mehrwert liefern.
- Falls hier Lehrende mitlesen, die ihre BA-Studierenden gerade wieder losschicken: Bitte berücksichtigt das – und besprecht mit euren Studierenden, ob das Researchdesign wirklich ein Expert:inneninterview benötigt.

- Our first issue of the PROMISE 3+3 Newsletter is out - a new way to follow our research on social media policies, and youth well-being! 1/4
- Do you sometimes think "oh boy, I would really like to hear Julia ramble some more about the topics about which she doesn't stop talking to begin with?" The wait is finally over! @guruspod.bsky.social and had a chat about open science, causal inference, and apparently birth order effects.

- We are facing a transformative phenomenon in digital space: AI chatbots. Are they perceived as social beings...or just machines? How does that shape how we chat—and whether we end up bonding with them? We tackle these questions with the AI Relationship Process Framework: arxiv.org/abs/2601.17351

- Am Montag hatten wir den 1. #ScienceSlam für #IPKW Alum@s. 🧑🔬🤹♂️ @c10r4n.bsky.social & ich haben ein aktuelles Projekt zu #Misinformations-Metanarrativen vorgestellt. Super auch @evapunkt.bsky.social aus der Praxis vor Ort gehabt zu haben. Und endlich @luis-paulitsch.bsky.social pers. kennengelernt.

- Preregistration is one of the great innovations in psychology in the last decade. But not surprisingly, they are currently often low quality, and this requires checking. Making this step easier is a game-changer. I know how hard Jamie has worked on this tool - and I suspect it will have huge impact.

- Comparing 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
-
View full thread6/🧵 I have also added integration with the ClinicalTrials.gov API. You can now provide a ClinicalTrials.gov identifier and RegCheck will automatically retrieve the registration.
- 7/🧵 All of this and more is detailed in our new preprint, also available today. You can read all about RegCheck here, including our ongoing work to comprehensively evaluate its performance. w/ @bethclarke.bsky.social @ianhussey.mmmdata.io and @malte.the100.ci arxiv.org/abs/2601.13330
- 8/🧵 Finally, I fulfill something long-promised: a full, open-source release of the entire RegCheck codebase. This comes with instructions on how to run RegCheck locally, both as a local implementation of the GUI, and as a standalone CLI application. Find the code here: github.com/JamieCummins...
- 9/🧵 This release was long overdue, and it represents the next stage of a more mature part of the RegCheck lifecycle, in terms of both tech and research. In 2026, you can expect publication of projects using RegCheck across psychology, clinical medicine, and economics.
- 10/🧵 If you’re interested in: - using RegCheck, - stress-testing it, - identifying bugs, - or formally evaluating its performance, I’m very happy to talk. App: regcheck.app Preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2601.13330 Code: github.com/JamieCummins...
- I guess it was just a question of time until someone created a grant writing bot. Unsure how I feel about this.
