Research is global. This was clearly recognised recently when UNESCO released its Recommendation on Open Science, including a set of core values, guiding principles and areas of action, to which all UNESCO members have committed.
Concerns about the replicability, reproducibility and transparency of research have ushered in a set of practices and behaviours under the umbrella of ‘open research’. To this end, many new initiatives have been developed that represent procedural …
Correlation is one of the most widely used tools in statistics. The correlation coefficient summarizes the association between two variables. In this visualization I show a scatter plot of two variables with a given correlation. The variables are …
Pre-requisites:
- Basic research methods knowledge
- Perhaps some basic introductory statistical knowledge
- If running the seminar exercise (extra), basic familiarity with R
Learning outcomes:
1. Students understand that confidence intervals are …
Improved research practice is based on estimation of effect sizes rather than statistical significance. We discuss the challenging task of interpreting effect sizes in the research context, with particular attention to social psychological research. …
This video will introduce how to calculate confidence intervals around effect sizes using the MBESS package in R. All materials shown in the video, as well as content from our other videos, can be found here: https://osf.io/7gqsi/
Welcome to R! Working with a programming language (especially if it’s your first time) often feels intimidating, but the rewards outweigh any frustrations. An important secret of coding is that even experienced programmers find it difficult and …
Dramatic changes to the transparency, rigor, reproducibility and replicability of research practices have occurred in the last decade. Despite considerable progress towards the adoption of open science practices by researchers in many disciplines, …
