Does a fine and warning letter from police prevent further use of the phone while driving? In an RCT led by Amina op de Weegh, we found no measurable effect on reoffending. Check it out #Openaccess 👇👇👇

Most procedural justice research has been cross-sectional—making causal claims difficult. Our longitudinal study asks whether police legitimacy reduces delinquency, or whether delinquency shapes legitimacy beliefs. The stronger evidence points to the latter. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Very true. But unscrupulous people can better get away with it if we don't have open data. I guess the problem is we actually have to check more often but we don't have the capacity

Amy Nivette @nivette.bsky.social · 06/05/2026

You can put the data in a repository that requires a login and email. I do think more about this issue, but I also think that why would AI need to scrape the data when it can just make up plausible values in a table?

Btw I think green OA is good (!!), it's just not apparent to me that the growth is because it's specifically green OA...

000

Amy Nivette @nivette.bsky.social · 19/02/2026

But I'm not sure many gold OA are only stored in 1 environment anymore. Pubmed and so many other repos often "repost" papers everywhere (OA or not). More policies requiring uni repos, lots of overlap among those who use repos for preprints and have institutional agreements (eg, UK, NL, etc).

100

Amy Nivette @nivette.bsky.social · 19/02/2026

Hmm..Why would this be the case if Google scholar offers both links? Maybe it's easier for LLMs to scrape OA repositories (and thus more suggested refs)? Also, are these comparing only OA repo vs only gold OA? I have so many measurement questions

Amy Nivette @nivette.bsky.social · 02/12/2025

Long paper short: to really put theories to the test, we should pay closer attention to causal assumptions and mechanisms before drawing conclusions (for vignettes and other designs). Randomisation does not solve everything!

030

Amy Nivette @nivette.bsky.social · 02/12/2025

New paper with @isabellevdv.bsky.social in Criminology! We test causal assumptions and mechs related to PJT using placebos and open text in a vignette. We show that interpreting vignettes is not so simple - assumptions were violated and ppl gave several reasons why they compiled (eg, fear)...

Amy Nivette @nivette.bsky.social · 10/11/2025

I agree! I would say other perspectives are also welcome! Non DLC approaches should also be relevant to DLC 😁 Let me know if you want to chat about ideas!

010

Amy Nivette @nivette.bsky.social · 02/11/2025

I don't see why it has to be one or the other. Preregs can help us evaluate studies to falsify and build stronger theory, and formalization/ strong theoretical work can help inform more severe theory testing using preregs. Again, one of many tools...

050

Amy Nivette @nivette.bsky.social · 02/11/2025

Feels a bit like a strawman though? I don't really know anyone who thinks prereg will solve all problems. It's one tool of many we can implement

260

Amy Nivette @nivette.bsky.social · 02/11/2025

Not saying it's perfect (definitely not haha), or that it's always necessary, and of course it can be a pain, but my view is why not use the tools we have to make things clearer when we can 😁

020

Amy Nivette @nivette.bsky.social · 02/11/2025

Hm not sure about the ends-means justification made there. There were lots of advances without ethical boards, not sure we should scrap ethics. There are now many more researchers making much more incremental advances. Prereg is just 1 tool that can help us judge the reliability of those findings
