October 15, 201870: Doubling-blinding dog balls
Dan and James discuss the recent "grievance studies" hoax, whereby three people spent a year writing twenty-one fake manuscripts for submission to various cultural studies journals. They also discuss a new proposal to shift publication culture in which researchers pledge to publish exclusively in community-run journals but only when a pre-specified threshold of support for this commitment by the research community has been met.
Here's an overview of the episode:
It’s fat bear week!
The new proposal to fix the stranglehold of commercial publishers in academia
Flipping journals to open access
The ‘grievance studies’ hoax
When James first came across the “dog rape” paper
What if you were to design the dog study properly?
Should we systematically try and hoax journals?
Astronomy already injects fake data, can we learn from this?
Should these new hoaxes all be associated with Sokal?

October 09, 201869: Open science tools (with Brian Nosek)
We’re joined by Brian Nosek (Centre for Open Science and University of Virginia) to chat about building technology to make open science easier to implement, and shifting the norms of science to make it more open. We also discuss his recent social sciences replication project in which researchers accurately predicted which studies would replicate.

What is the Centre for Open Science?
How did Brian go from Psychology professor to the director of tech organisation?
How can researchers use the Open Science Framework (OSF)?
How does OSF remove friction for conducting open science?
Registered reports (now available at 131 journals!)
What factors converged to cause the emerging acceptance of open science?
The social sciences replication project
Can researchers anticipate which findings can replicate?
What happened when Brian and his team tried to submit their replication attempts of Science papers to Science?
The experience of reviewing registered reports
