It is the OpenFest week! We have started our annual open research conference with a panel around Citizen Science. If you still want to join us online for the rest of the sessions throughout the week, please register here: libguides.shu.ac.uk/openresearch...

It took us more than ten years, but the new Small World of Words website is now live with better feedback and comparisons across languages. Play a game of word associations and learn what you share with others. smallworldofwords.org

For those looking for alternatives to OSF, I recommend two resources comparing features of other Generalist Repositories. Resources are from GREI, an NIH funded initiative. Comparison tool to help you pick which one you like best: doi.org/10.5281/zeno... Decision tree: doi.org/10.5281/zeno...
OSF will continue to support study planning and preregistration, as well as community-run preprint services. Our overview explains what's changing, what will continue, key dates, & where to find detailed guidance. We've also shared why these changes are necessary. (🧵2/2)

I built a website that tracks open source tools that provide automated checks for scientific manuscripts: lakens.github.io/automated_re... It provides a summary through RSS feed that you can subscribe to. It tracks 13 repositories - if you want your repo to be included, let me know!

Excellent news! Nature is expanding Registered Reports to all the fields in which they publish! A great result by all those proposing this strong solution to publication bias and selective reporting (and getting expert feedback before data collection)! www.nature.com/articles/d41...

My last game was frequentist. This one's Bayesian. In BATTLE BAYES you're M₀, the intercept-only null model — fed up with being rejected. Collect evidence, INTERCEPT your rivals' excess θ, get SELECTED. Yes, the button name is a pun. sachaepskamp.com/battle_bayes/ #rstats #statsed #bayesian

If you (like me!) feel uneasy about the societal consequences of big AI firms, their lock on your data, etc, you can now run an LLM locally one one beefy GPU or MacBook Pro, that’s just insanely capable (will feel close to Claude like 6-12 months ago for many tasks). qwen.ai/blog?id=qwen...

Please join us this Friday and ask all your burning questions about hypothesis testing & stats within a relaxed setting! See you there! ⭐☕
Heads up! 🌟 Our next #ReproducibiliTea session will be this Friday, April 17th, from 16-17h @ Uni Mail (5050). We will discuss the article by Scheel et al. (2021) and have a presentation by statistician Ben Meuleman on hypothesis testing. We hope to see you there, and don't forget your mug! ☕

Our new preprint is now on bioRxiv: doi.org/10.64898/202... There’s been a long-standing conflict about the role of angular gyrus in semantic processing: Why is it more active for concrete than abstract semantics? Does it play any role in abstract concepts despite its less activation?(part 1 of 3)
Grateful to have been part of the development of this tool! ⭐ Try it out here: www.winrepo.org/transparency...
How transparent is your research funder? 🧐 In our latest work we introduce the Transparent Reporting Scale (TRS) to evaluate how funders report grant data. It's time for standardized transparency to bridge the "scissor-shaped curve" in neuroscience. www.frontiersin.org/journals/com...
