Replication Crisis

xkcd.com/3117/
4-panel comic. (1) [Person 1 with ponytail flanked by person with short hair and another person speaking into microphone at podium] PERSON 1: In the early 2010s, researchers found that many major scientific results couldn’t be reproduced. (2) PERSON 1: Over a decade into the replication crisis, we wanted to see if today’s studies have become more robust. (3) PERSON 1: Unfortunately, our replication analysis has found exactly the same problems that those 2010s researchers did. (4) [newspaper with image of speakers from previous panels] Headline: Replication Crisis Solved

My frequent collaborator @jevinwest.bsky.social worked with an exceptional team to develop an NRC report on the challenges of misinformation about science.

That report is now available for free today.

Over the past year, I've resisted blogging about why Protzko needed retracted.

Unfortunately, the authors have used their platforms to mislead about the cause for retraction. As they cannot be honest, I'm choosing to be fully open and transparent.

Had a lovely time presenting to @femquant.bsky.social about how reflexivity in quantitative researcher may improve transparency and rigour. We talked about how open science frames "bias" as a problem to be stamped out, but feminist epistemological approaches offer a different (more nuanced) take

“Where are the findings? You only provide quotes.”

New article considers qualitative researchers’ experiences of methodologically incongruent peer review feedback

Open Access: dx.doi.org/10.1037/qup0...

Few quotes follow 🧵
Although peer review is one of the central pillars of academic publishing, qualitative researchers’ experiences of this process have been largely overlooked. Existing research and commentary have focused on peer reviewers’ comments on qualitative articles, which are often described as indicative of a quantitative mindset or hostility to nonpositivist qualitative research. We extend this literature by focusing on qualitative researchers’ experiences of methodologically incongruent reviewer and editor comments—comments that are incommensurate with the conceptual foundations of the reviewed research. Qualitative researchers (N = 163) from a range of health and social science disciplines, including psychology, responded to a brief qualitative survey. Most contributors reported that peer reviewers and editors universalized the assumptions and expectations of postpositivist research and reporting. Some also reported that peer reviewers and editors universalized the norms and values particular to specific qualitative approaches. Contributors were concerned that peer reviewers often accept review invitations when they lack relevant methodological expertise and editors often select peer reviewers without such expertise. In response to methodologically incongruent comments, many contributors described a process of initially “pushing back” and explaining why these comments were incongruent with their research. When this educative approach was unsuccessful, some knowingly compromised the methodological integrity of their research and acquiesced to reviewer and editor requests. Earlier career researchers especially highlighted the powerlessness they felt in the peer review process in the context of a “publish or perish” academic climate. We end by outlining contributors’ recommendations for improving the methodological integrity of the peer review of qualitative research.

Hi #MetaSci feed. I’ve removed “prereg,” “open science,” and “#openscience” as tag phrases for this feed to try to make its posts a bit more specific and relevant.

The feed will continue to pick up other metascience-related terms, with the main hashtag being #metasci (not case sensitive)!
