Our 50th episode is up! We discuss listeners questions. There were so many, we will continue in episode 51. This week: Is it important to have a philosophy of science? Are they beliefs, or can we justify them? And we discuss critical realist approaches to qualitative science.

So excited to be part of this amazing conference hosted by Dwayne Lieck . Check more details here.

Is scientific relativism taken seriously by epistemologists? It still holds sway in some parts of the social sciences, but was wondering how people who specialise in epistemology see it.

In this special two-part celebration, we answer questions submitted by our listeners. Thanks to Don Moore, Leif Nelson, Henry Wyneken, Charlotte Pennington, and Karan Paranganat for the questions! Episode 51: Quinquagesimus - II podbean.com/eas/pb-vegxm-1…

We love to share new papers on here. But how many of the studies that scientists preregister on the Open Science Framework are never shared publicly? In a new paper in AMPPS we estimate 40% of preregistered studies are never shared. That’s a lot. 🧵⤵️ journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/25…

We’re recruiting! Dryad is looking for a full-time #datacurator to join our team. Fully remote, but fully supported. If you have a passion for research data quality and open data publication, then take a look: buff.ly/3qtjoIG.

Which findings should we replicate? Isager et al propose a 'replication value', defined as the expected utility gain when conducting a replication. It is a function of (1) the value of being certain about the claim, and (2) uncertainty about the claim. osf.io/preprints/meta…

New episode, the first of two, on Scientific fraud: nulliusinverba.podbean.com/e/episode-52-f…

knowledge generation system and highlighted seven ways in which scientific coordination provides epistemic benefits. I would love to hear your thoughts. You can find them here: doi.org/10.31234/osf.i… doi.org/10.31234/osf.i…

Mark your calenders. The dates and topics of the upcoming workshops of the Paul Meehl Graduate School are announced. Stay tuned for more information paulmeehlschool.github.io/2025-02-10-sav…

3 new free workshops of the Paul Meehl Graduate School that you can sign up for! April 11 – Dr. Sarahanne Field on qualitative studies May 9 – Dr. Peder Isager on causal models June 6 – Dr. René Bekkers on scientific criticism and peer review See you there!

Inspiring work by Sajedeh Rasti et al. on identifying the various benefits of coordination in science, and providing a better language to talk about what coordination in science actually *is*. I personally long to be part of a truly coordinated research line.

Delightful little blog post by Eiko Fried, musing on the hidden nature of the mechanisms that drive our thoughts, feelings and actions. Reminded me why I thought free will was an interesting philosophical topic back in the day. Highly recommend as an end-of-workweek read!

Episode 53: Fraus - II ift.tt/FgKGe5N

I'll finally get to teach a workshop on one of my favourite subjects - causal inference - at the Paul Meehl graduate school may 9th! Ever wondered what the point is of controlling for variables in your regression analysis? Come find out with us!

New episode of Nullius In Verba on Premature Experimentation: nulliusinverba.podbean.com/e/episode-63-e… Are experiments overused, and should we make greater use of other approaches to knowledge generation? If so, which methods should we use instead? Enjoy!

In our next episode of Nullius In Verba we will dive into the history of metascience. The first mention of 'metascience' in the literature we could find is Morris, 1938. Do you know of an earlier mention of the term 'metascience'?
