The use of funnel plot asymmetry to test for publication bias in meta-analysis is very common yet inaccurate. Asymmetry evaluates small-study bias, which *includes* publication bias, but also other factors. Here I walk you through how to more accurately assess for publication bias in JASP & R

Our paper "I can be a “normal” student: the role of lecture capture in supporting disabled and neurodivergent students’ participation in higher education" has now been formally published in Higher Education 🔗 link.springer.com/article/10.1... #AcademicSky
After the return to on-campus teaching post-Covid, reports of student disengagement and low attendance are common and anxieties over the relationship between lecture recordings and attendance have re-emerged, leading some educators to remove recordings. To understand the potential impact of such decisions, this study explored how neurodivergent and disabled students use recordings using a qualitative survey approach. Reflexive thematic analysis emphasised the need for learning flexibility and questioned traditional lectures. Neurodivergent and disabled students raised concerns over accessibility, highlighting the crucial nature of recordings beyond attendance. For example, features such as pausing or speed adjusted were described as vital for managing learning among disabled and neurodivergent participants. Our findings do not support an uncritical view of lecture recordings. Participants discussed the self-discipline required for effective use and responses reflected prior concerns di
