apparently 'bropenscience' is still a major trigger for some. 2020 twitter is here! so wholesome.

Today I am thinking about how someone asked me for all of the data from six unrelated papers, I replied "I'm happy to help but am on vacation and don't have my external hard drive with me," and was later told that I was counted as "unwilling to share data" in some kind of science sting operation.

That's been my problem in metascience spaces as well. Bullies are viewed as a force for good, not just tolerated, they're celebrated. Bropenscience culture is pervasive and massively limits the potential and diversity of metascience.

Hadn't heard "bropenscience" before and gosh does that hit on the nose for some folks I can think of... Open science is fantastic. Bropenscience isn't.

I find it tragicomic that no one dares create a metascience starter pack because it's a minefield of bropenscience. People deserve a better experience than that here (and elsewhere tbh)!

I used to take all kinds of abuse from bropenscience on twitter as they used to be a sensitive & aggressive bunch fueled by underdog syndrome. But I left bad habits there as soon as I closed my account. Apparently some still continue to prefer dunk quotes here instead of engaging with you directly.

AI entryism subverts anti AI critique.

Consider that not everyone's experience has been like yours and you don't see everything happening. The original bropenscience piece was written by two women and represents the experience of many women in this domain. It is absolutely necessary to talk about this.

ugh a dynamic that never changes. "bropenscience" is made a mockery of but it is not an accusation but a very keen diagnosis.

Completely agreed. The open science umbrella crucially shaped my view, wonderfully embedded in this timeless piece: www.bps.org.uk/psychologist...

Whenever the age-old "methodological terrorism", "shameless little bullies" etc. insults are brought up in scientific reform discourse, I can't help but think: Isn't it time we move beyond this underdog framing & acknowledge the very real bropenscience problems emerging in this space?

I've seen folks who have viciously circled PhD students' p-values before complain about the tone of your blog post instead of making a single comment about the paper itself and I'm fascinated* by this whole boys club dynamic going on in bropenscience.

And I mean this without snark but with vehemence: That post simultaneously reads as a history of bropenscience if you shift your perspective. The building blocks are all in there from the getgo.

I have a feeling the critical folks learn to keep it to themselves for fear of massive pile ons on Twitter. I've had my share of bropenscience wrath over there. And learned to not talk about some stuff.
