Here’s my conversation with Chris Chambers on Metascience Matters. Chris was the first journal editor to offer registered reports, starting in 2013 at Cortex.

I made a metascience starter pack, emphasizing accounts that often post about metascience rather than specific science reform policy advocacy.

you think metascience units sound good on paper but are skeptical that they will be misused by this government. i think they sound horrifying on paper and am skeptical that they could do any good in anyone's hands. we are not the same.

Ison-Britannian tiedeministeriön alainen tutkimusrahoittaja UKRI perusti viime vuonna metascience-yksikön, jonka tavoitteena on tuottaa tietoa julkisen tutkimusrahoituksen kohdentamisen tueksi ja tiedepolitiikan kehittämiseen laajemmin. Tästä voisi melkein olla kateellinen. #Metascience2025

Yes! RCTs are the gold standard for a reason, but over-reliance on them is 'methodolatry'.

This paper marks an important milestone for me, because ten years ago when I started working on the theory of metascience, I realized mainstream metascience wasn't going in the direction I initially hoped it would. After the psychology reproducibility project got published, I could not stop

📣 The difference between replicable and not replicable is not itself scientifically replicable. 📣

New work with Erkan Buzbas, showing that verdicts such as "X% of results replicated" are based on an inferential machinery that doesn't work.

arxiv.org/abs/2604.26268
Screenshot of a paper's title page. Title: "The Difference Between 'Replicable' and 'Not replicable' is not Itself Scientifically Replicable". Authors: Berna Devezer and Erkan O. Buzbas, both at the University of Idaho — Devezer in the Department of Business and the Institute for Modeling Collaboration and Innovation, Buzbas in the Department of Mathematics and Statistical Science. Authors contributed equally. Corresponding author: bdevezer@uidaho.edu. Abstract: Replication studies estimate the replicability rate of scientific results by aggregating binary verdicts of experiments. Exact replications are rarely attainable, so most replication sequences are non-exact. Experiments differ in ways that matter and do not share a single common data-generating process. We formalize two statistical interpretations of this non-exactness. In a shared latent rate model (benchmark), experiments are exchangeable and depend on a common random replicability rate. In a conditionally independent rates model (operational), each experiment has its own replicability rate drawn independently from a population distribution. Under the shared latent rate model, even small variability among replicability rates induces an irreducible variance floor on the estimated mean replicability rate that cannot be eliminated by adding more replications. Under the conditionally independent rates model, the degree of non-exactness is not identifiable from standard replication data, because one binary verdict per experiment contains no information about between-experiment heterogeneity. Researchers therefore cannot tell which precision regime they are operating in or whether high- and low-replicability sequences can be distinguished in principle. As a result, the usual data structure of one binary verdict per experiment cannot support reliable demarcation between "replicable" and "not replicable" results and systematically understates uncertainty, making high- and low-replicability sequences appear discrim…

Ugh. Neither is further institutionalization what metascience needs as a field nor is a centralized metascience that issues science-wide mandates what sciences need. This kind of thing is something I've been strongly against even without an office of metascience at NSF. But I could see it coming.
