Using OSF to Share Data: A Step-by-Step Guide

Sharing data, materials, and analysis scripts with reviewers and readers is valued in psychological science. To facilitate this sharing, files should be stored in a stable location, referenced with unique identifiers, and cited in published work …

Why Summaries of Research on Psychological Theories are Often Uninterpretable

Null hypothesis testing of correlational predictions from weak substantive theories in soft psychology is subject to the influence of ten obfuscating factors whose effects are usually (1) sizeable, (2) opposed, (3) variable, and (4) unknown. The net …

Internal conceptual replications do not increase independent replication success

Recently, many psychological effects have been surprisingly difficult to reproduce. This article asks why, and investigates whether conceptually replicating an effect in the original publication is related to the success of independent, direct …

One cheer for null hypothesis significance testing

Null hypothesis testing as a tool in research is defended. Six examples are offered of situations in which, if all the researcher could do was "reject H₀ at α = .05" the scientific contribution would still be substantial. The examples are drawn from …

Reconceptualizing replication as a sequence of different studies: A replication typology

In contrast to the truncated view that replications have only a little to offer beyond what is already known, we suggest a broader understanding of replications: We argue that replications are better conceptualized as a process of conducting …

The Replication Recipe: What makes for a convincing replication?

Psychological scientists have recently started to reconsider the importance of close replications in building a cumulative knowledge base; however, there is no consensus about what constitutes a convincing close replication study. To facilitate …

The Reputational Consequences of Failed Replications and Wrongness Admission among Scientists

Scientists are dedicating more attention to replication efforts. While the scientific utility of replications is unquestionable, the impact of failed replication efforts and the discussions surrounding them deserve more attention. Specifically, the …

A Bayesian Perspective on the Reproducibility Project: Psychology

We revisit the results of the recent Reproducibility Project: Psychology by the Open Science Collaboration. We compute Bayes factors—a quantity that can be used to express comparative evidence for an hypothesis but also for the null hypothesis—for a …

A Reliability-Generalization Study of Journal Peer Reviews: A Multilevel Meta-Analysis of Inter-Rater Reliability and Its Determinants

Background: This paper presents the first meta-analysis for the inter-rater reliability (IRR) of journal peer reviews. IRR is defined as the extent to which two or more independent reviews of the same scientific document agree. Methodology/Principal …

A Short (Personal) Future History of Revolution 2.0

Crisis of replicability is one term that psychological scientists use for the current introspective phase we are in—I argue instead that we are going through a revolution analogous to a political revolution. Revolution 2.0 is an uprising focused on …
