I also liked the important point that:

"Reporting at least one practice does not mean using QRPs frequently, systematically, or across a substantial proportion of one’s research"

“When correction is viewed as portrayed in Fig. 1, one may see similarities to the general dynamics of an adaptive system, such as the immune response or natural selection (e.g., Lewontin, 1970; Plotkin, 1997), sometimes viewed as “corrective” in nature.”

We compare TWFE event studies vs dynamic #DID estimators. Results suggest a more nuanced picture than "never use TWFE" and clarify when different estimators perform well 👇

“Our analyses thus contribute to a growing literature documenting the limited clarity of pre-analysis plans in the social sciences and the prevalence of undocumented deviations from preregistration (Brodeur et al., 2024; Franco et al., 2016; Ofosu and Posner, 2023).”

we would argue that it is one of the most critical stages of research design."

Should researchers reflect on their commitments, assumptions, and positionality and describe this in their research reports? Some say no. Our article provides a methodological justification for how reflexivity strengthens the methodological integrity of both qualitative and quantitative research.

Anna Simon-Stickley @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social and Amelia Urry @hpscambridge.bsky.social on 'Cross-Contextualizing the Histories and Politics of Environmental Proxies'

#History #Analysis #Climate #Methodology #Roundtable🗃️

👉Open access: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
In this essay, we approach the method of cross-contextualization as both an actors’ category and as an analytic approach for historians interested in the construction of long-term or large-scale environmental knowledge. While we both use cross-contextualization as it was originally conceived as a method to tell global histories of science by reading together sources not obviously in conversation, we also deal with actors who themselves are doing historical work by historicizing global climates across different contexts. To do so, these actors, too, have learned to read sources at a distance from their obvious audiences, thereby expanding what it is possible to say about the broad and nebulous category of global environment. We think through two areas of research: the construction of climate knowledge in nineteenth-century Egypt, from Anna, and the use of climate proxies in the twentieth-century technoscience, from Amelia.
