Evaluating research is hard. Kimberly Quinn @kimberlyquinn.bsky.social, simine vazire, and I developed a tool (seaboat.io) to help reviewers identify threats to the validity of empirical research with the help of 50+ experts. Here’s our preprint introducing it! [1/7] psyarxiv.com/fc8v3

#GegenMachtmissbrauchAnUnis #ProfsfuerTina „Die Strukturen des deutschen Wissenschaftssystems sind eine Einladung zum Machtmissbrauch.“ In einem offenen Brief an Verantwortliche in Politik und Universitätsleitungen fordern Professor*innen ein klares Benennen des Problems. 1
