"Scientists/journals/unis have become slaves to misguided formulas based on meaningless data. Science is one of humanity’s proudest achievements, but scientists are human and have become distracted by prestige games that do nothing to advance science." 360info.org/success-withou…

If you would like to read what I hope (and tried) to make the best (=most conceptually rigorous) review of preregistration and Registered Reports currently in the literature, see our recent paper: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

An exciting opportunity has arisen Journal of Sports Sciences to join the Sports Performance section as an Executive Editor. think.taylorandfrancis.com/editor_recruit… If you are interested, feel free to discuss with Simon Jobson or me. Deadline is 28 February 2025.

Quick poll for those who do peer review of research studies submitted to academic journals... When peer reviewing a manuscript for a journal do you typically write your comments using a generic word processor, like Word? If 'No', what tool do you typically use?

The wording in Trump’s executive order is fine (well, I dislike “conception” but that’s a minor quibble). Sex is determined at fertilisation. We can predict the sex class of an embryo well before any sex phenotype develops, and with almost-perfect reliability. Human embryos

On 10 May I'll be doing the Trek26 marathon challenge around Stonehenge in aid of Alzheimer's Society and in memory of my dad who passed away last year from this horrible disease. If you can spare a little change then all donations are greatly appreciated. justgiving.com/fundraising/Tr…

The latest from Max Ditroilo, Cris Mesquida, me, & Daniël Lakens on exploratory studies in sport/exercise science. Inter alia, we outline the differences between exploratory & confirmatory studies and best practice for conducting/reporting an exploratory study. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

As a companion piece to our recent paper (tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…), at ECSS Rimini this year we present a poster on exploratory research. IS EXPLORATORY RESEARCH MISUNDERSTOOD IN SPORT AND EXERCISE SCIENCE? 04.07.2025, 11:00 - 12:00, Hall 5 (Poster Session 3) Daniël Lakens

What makes exploratory research valuable? We discuss 6 factors: 1) Large and 2) Uncommon sample 3) Rigorous data collection 4) Widely used measures that 5) Reveal a coherent pattern across variables and 6) The potential to generate questions. doi.org/10.1080/026404…

Why is the historically-esteemed journal British Journal of Sports Medicine (BJSM) publishing unequivocally poor research, just because transwomen are included in the studies? It makes no sense. We wrote a response to highlight some of the major flaws in the Alvares et al. (2025) paper.. bjsm.bmj.com/content/early/…

We also published a more comprehensive pre-print SportRχiv to elaborate on some of our points… sportrxiv.org/index.php/serv… Dr Chris Kirk Grant Abt Tommy Lundberg Cathy Devine Dr Eva Carneiro
