If the significant results is not novel (well-replicated), then it may be less likely to be published.

An Ikea pegboard with hooks and labels? Your solution is clean and organized, but thr friction of getting each cable (opening drawers, bags, and undoing steps) could may it less likely that you and others will actually reach for the cables.

I wonder if a lightweight publishing path (to a Google Sheet) would help open up this PPPR file drawer. It's interesting to muse about how to do this carefully.

New paper! Despite qualitative researchers claiming that generalizability is not a goal, their published work does indeed contain generalizable claims. We document this and provide recommendations for how all researchers can better calibrate their generalizability claims. doi.org/10.1177/2515...

Maybe it's time to write up new standards for reviews. I haven't stumbled upon anything relevant other than INSPECT-SR lately. inspect-sr.com They run good virtual workshops from time-to-time.

Interestingly, systematic review don't have standards for excluding by COI/competing interests. There's just GRADE risk of bias for methodological quality. Weird, huh?

📚As I power through my first systematic review this semester, I wonder why the method has not deepened its criticality in this open science era? Given how easy it is to share data and code, why not simply exclude closed studies to avoid wasting time? Authors I've contacted for data don't respond.

Jay Patel @infotainment.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

And I'd add that being driven by psychology, sociology, research methods, psychometrics, etc. would save us from the "research waste" of AI studies.

Is anyone working on FAIR-type standards for sharing LLM prompts? It's be nice to collect them in one place, solidify the metadata, and recommend them to users just-in-time for particular use cases. Of course, recent models seem to be less affected by the prompts themselves than by other factors.

What if I told you scientists developed a urinal design that cuts down on nearly all splash back. And their names are "Randy" and "Pan". And they work at the University of Waterloo. And they published their findings in the journal PNAS Nexus. You'd never believe me, right?

The year is 2056: Scientific papers are 90% disclosures, statements, and links to supporting artifacts. This is a vision worth taken to a prediction market.

There's a fair bit of literature on these questions. I think you're overestimating on 1 and underestimating on 2-4 (going by memory, could be faulty). But yeah, see the extant research: elicit.com/find-papers/...

I fear that many will use this to further restrict open science. Perhaps the lack of actual harms (case studies) is a signal how little this PII finding matters in practice @i4replication.bsky.social .

Open scientists working on equity, fairness, and crediting, what is being done about stolen ideas from ECRs? Sadly not much has changed since I was an undergrad. It seems that stolen credit still manifests across fields and roles.
