If any data / science / psychology / metascience / etc folks want an invite to the other non-Zuckerberg microblogging site, DM me, I have a few.
It’s … mildly better (and at least its CEO doesn’t actively do the opposite of what any competent comms advisor would suggest)

Statisticians finally did it! They solved sample size determination!
ALT Screenshot of google search featured snippet for “minimum sample size” reading: “The minimum sample size is 100 Most statisticians agree that the minimum sample size to get any kind of meaningful result is 100. If your population is less than 100 then you really need to survey all of them.”

Our paper comparing Registered Reports vs. traditionally published articles is finally out! The tldr is after getting peer reviews of RRs and a matched sample of traditionally published articles (1/2)
New in Nature Human Behavior: We had 353 peer reviewers evaluate published Registered Reports versus comparison articles on 19 outcome criteria. We found that RRs were consistently rated higher on rigor and quality.

(cont.) RRs came out as-if-not-more-highly rated on all outcomes. Caveats come from the fact that this is a naturalistic study comparing a smallish sample of very early RRs against a matched sample, so this is early indicative evidence and is far from the last word on the topic!

I just pushed a new version of the metafor package (version 3.0-0) to CRAN. This has been long overdue. This version includes a lot of updates that have accumulated in the development version of the package over the past 14-15 months. I will mention some highlights.

Results are in and I’m mostly just disappointed in everyone who didn’t pick the Emoji answer (but also have no idea who you are so I can’t seek retribution)

Why does every media article about preprinted research say something like “not the gold standard for evidence: a peer reviewed article”
Do journalists not know that “peer reviewed” just means “accepted for publication by ~three overworked academics and then poorly copy edited”?
