Those who have been peddling the idea of a replication crisis will be happy, I hope. But if critics like myself are right, and the crisis is misconstrued and overblown, then this will waste many resources that could have been invested on new discoveries.

An excellent start of the @meta_rep conference in Munich, with @cassieannshort and Daniel Kristanto showing us how to conduct a multiverse analysis. Lots of wundabar apps! Tomorrow I will make a case for how complexity helps predict reproducibility.

A fairly equanimous summary of the OSF retraction affair.
What’s the story behind that paper by the Center for Open Science team that just got retracted? statmodeling.stat.columbia.e…

This is a watershed moment for Metascience. What Joe's blog describes cannot be ignored. joebakcoleman.com/blog/2024/…
After retraction and the authors providing their narrative, a blog by Joe (who w Berna raised the original concerns) arguing the authors downplay the issues. “virtually none of the analyses matched the preregistration.“ joebakcoleman.com/blog/2024/…

So the story is quite complicated. The authors have a nice document on the OSF explaining the situation & journey, and they actually have the retracted paper under review at the same journal. Lots of info in the below thread. Will also repost the most important things here now

Students at Stanford have built alphaXiv, an open discussion forum for arXiv papers. Think of it as 𝕏 for research.

Excellent work by @schneider_jw and colleagues. Figure 4 is the most most important, showing estimates of prevalence in recent publications.
