September 05, 2024184: A race to the bottom
Open access articles have democratized the availability of scientific research, but are author-paid publication fees undermining the quality of science?
The preprint by Morgan and Smaldino - https://osf.io/preprints/osf/3ez9v
Paul Smaldino's text book - Modeling social behavior
Main edisode takeaways (AI-assisted summary)
There is a wide variability in the quality of papers published in gold open access journals and a wide variate of open access journals, some of which prioritise quality research
Diamond open access and green open access are alternative models to consider.
The publishing industry needs more transparency and mandatory reporting of data. The pressure to publish more can lead to a crowding out problem and a focus on quantity over quality.
Determining the quality of journals and papers is challenging, and there are varying levels of quality within different tiers of journals.
Fraudulent publishing practices, such as paper mills and fake papers, can be facilitated by the market for publishing.
The Publons service (R.I.P) and similar platforms can improve the transparency of peer review and provide a record of reviewers' contributions.
Society journals may offer a better publishing model as they have a reputation to maintain and are less likely to prioritize quantity over quality.

August 03, 2024183: Too beautiful to be true
Dan and James discuss a paper describing a journal editor's efforts to receive data from authors who submitted papers with results that seemed a little too beautiful to be true
Main edisode takeaways (AI generated summary)
This editorial on the reproducibility crisis emphasizes the importance of providing raw data in scientific publications and highlights the need for transparency and accountability in the research process
The lack of oversight and the discrepancy between the amount of data required for scientific statements and what is often provided in academic publishing is a cause for concern.
Ensuring the integrity of scientific research requires the active involvement of editors, reviewers, and researchers in promoting transparency and upholding ethical standards. The scientific publishing process lacks oversight and accountability, leading to potential issues with the accuracy and trustworthiness of published papers.
Journals should prioritize maintaining high standards and ensuring that papers are thoroughly reviewed and validated before publication.
Changing behaviors within the scientific community, such as pledging to publish in open access journals, can promote positive change and improve research integrity.
There is a need for active maintenance and improvement of the systems and parameters of scientific research to prevent potential negative consequences.

July 02, 2024182: What practices should the behavioural sciences borrow (and ignore) from other research fields?
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

June 03, 2024181: Down the rabbit hole
We discuss how following citation chains in psychology can often lead to unexpected places, and how this can contribute to unreplicable findings. We also discuss why team science has taken longer to catch on in psychology compared to other research fields.
Here is the preprint that we mentioned authored by Andrew Gelman and Nick Brown - https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/ekmdf
