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

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.

December 29, 2023176: Tracking academic workloads
We chat about a paper on the invisible workload of open science and why academics are so bad at tracking their workloads.
This episode was originally recorded in May 2023 in a hotel room just before our live recording of Episode 169, which is why we refer to the paper as a 'new' paper near the start of the episode.

December 07, 2023175: Defending against the scientific dark arts
We chat about a recent blogpost from Dorothy Bishop, in which she proposes a Master course that will provide training in fraud detection—what should such a course specifically teach and where would these people work to apply their training? We also discuss whether open science is a cult that has trouble seeing outward.
