🚨Update: Our analysis of global APC expenditure has now been expanded to cover more publishers (7 -> 14) and more years (2019-2025). We estimate $15B in APCs paid over seven years, $3.7B in 2025 alone. Elsevier crosses the $1B threshold by itself in 2025. arxiv.org/abs/2608.16322 #ScholComm

Zoltan Dienes, one of our PIs, has been editing, authoring and reviewing Registered Reports since 2013. He has tried to put in concise form the lessons learned and what that means for how he approaches research. See his lessons learned here: osf.io/preprints/ps...

“Mesmer’s Error: Beliefs Reverse the Rubber Hand Illusion (Registered Report)” w/@zoltandienes.bsky.social. Suggestion can reverse classic body ownership illusion effects (greater effect for async control). Multisensory synchrony is neither necessary nor sufficient for the illusion. bit.ly/4wvHeUy

In this new research, we found that truth beliefs can be successfully conditioned: Statements - true and false - are rated as more true after their pairing with positive than negative pictures. This effect bridges research on evaluative conditioning and misinformation. osf.io/preprints/ps...

New preprint: "Belief-reinforcing unusual experiences may arise from phenomenological control". doi.org/10.31234/osf... Reports a study testing predictions arising from the theory that phenomenological control evolved to promote experiences of a spirit world in order to support religious beliefs.

NEW: Statement from the PCI RR Managing Board on the withdrawal of Infant and Child Development as a PCI RR-friendly journal, and the decision by Wiley to refuse preprints that have been peer-reviewed by @peercommunityin.bsky.social / @pci-regreports.bsky.social Read here ➡️ osf.io/tn8mh

In 2024, Infant and Child Development (ICD) withdrew as a PCI RR-friendly journal and reneged on three Stage 1 recommendations issued by PCI RR. In addition, Wiley – the publisher of ICD – notified PCI RR and the PCI core team of its decision to withdraw all Wiley journals from PCI and PCI RR, including an additional 9 PCI-friendly journals. Finally, Wiley appears to have banned all of its ~1600 journals from considering submissions that have been previously reviewed by PCI or PCI RR. This statement explains the history of ICD joining PCI RR and developments that led to the current outcome. The PCI RR Managing Board believes that this shift in policy to become “PCI-hostile” renders Wiley journals incompatible not only with community-based preprint review but with preprint archiving in general.

In this new preprint, we argue that the role of demand artifacts in evaluative conditioning research can't be readily dismissed. We highlight methodological challenges by discussing three recent articles that addressed that question: dx.doi.org/10.31219/osf...
