182: What practices should the behavioural sciences borrow (and ignore) from other research fields?

Listen Later

Dan and James answer a listener question on what practices should the behavioural sciences borrow (and ignore) from other research fields.

Here are the main takeaways:

  • Keeping laboratory records and using electronic lab management software is beneficial practices biology that would benefit the behavioral sciences
  • The rate of pre-registration of meta-analysis in psychology is low, unlike other fields, which have a higher pre-registration rate. Here is the preprint on pre-registration of psychology meta-analyses that was mentioned: https://doi.org/10.31222/osf.io/627a4
  • Case studies (somewhat common in medicine) can provide valuable insights, especially when there is aggressive sampling and oversampling of single points
  • Double-blinded should not be adopted. as these can be challenging to implement effectively and may not always work as intended
  • Philosophers often (but not always) have a clear writing style and structure their arguments well, which can be enjoyable to read and should be more widely adopted
  • The publishing industry needs more innovation, particularly in the areas of peer review and editorial processes
