...more 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 behaviorMain 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.

...more 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.

...more 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

...more 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.

...more January 31, 2024177: Plagiarism We discuss two recent plagiarism cases, one you've probably heard about and another that you probably haven't heard about if you're outside Norway. We also chat about the parallels between plagiarism and sports doping—would people reconsider academic dishonesty if they were reminded that future technology may catch them out?
Here are some of the takeaways from the episode (generated with the help of AI):
- Plagiarism cases can range from minor academic practice issues to more serious instances of copying verbatim
- The detection and punishment of plagiarism can vary depending on the context, such as academic journals or internal university issues.
- The mindset and motivations behind plagiarism can differ between athletes and students, with athletes often driven by intense competition.
- Long-term detectability and the potential consequences of cheating are factors that may discourage individuals from engaging in plagiarism.
- Addressing plagiarism requires a balance between identifying genuine cases and avoiding ideological biases.
