59: Rethinking the scientific journal (with Rickard Carlsson)

Listen Later

Despite cosmetic changes, scientific journals haven't changed that much over the past few decades. So what if we were to completely rethink how a scientific journal should operate in today's environment?

Dan and James are joined by Rickard Carlsson (Linnaeus University, Sweden), who is the Co-Editor of the new "Meta-Psychology" journal.

Here's what they cover:

  • Why start a new psychology journal?
  • What’s new about this journal?
  • How does the journal have no subscription fees and no article processing fees?
  • How does a new journal increase its profile?
  • The difficulties in publishing negative results
  • The limits of study pre-registration
  • Are data archiving requirements unrealistic?
  • Open polices and the Swedish constitution
  • How can we make data anonymous?
  • What’s the hardest thing about starting a journal?
  • What would success look like for this new journal?
  • What has Rickard changed his mind about recently?
  • What’s one book or paper that Rickard thinks everyone should read
