The reporting completeness and transparency of systematic reviews of prognostic prediction models for COVID-19 was poor: a methodological overview of systematic reviews

Objectives To conduct a methodological overview of reviews to evaluate the reporting completeness and transparency of systematic reviews (SRs) of prognostic prediction models (PPMs) for COVID-19. Study Design and Setting MEDLINE, Scopus, Cochrane …

A recipe for extremely reproducible enrichment analysis (and why we need it)

Unreliable and irreproducible research is a significant problem that wastes resources and risks undermining the public perception of science. Previous work has highlighted that published enrichment analyses frequently suffer from statistical and …

Last Contact: A Science Adventure

Last Contact is a game is a game that is intended to inform people about the open science movement. In the game players encounter common problems of current scientific practice in form of a parody science fiction scenario. The problems that players …

The need for public opinion and survey methodology research to embrace preregistration and replication, exemplified by a team’s failure to replicate their own findings on visual cues in grid-type questions

Survey researchers take great care to measure respondents’ answers in an unbiased way; but, how successful are we as a field at remedying unintended and intended biases in our research? The validity of inferences drawn from studies has been found to …

Mitigating Illusory Results through Preregistration in Education

Like performance-enhancing drugs inflating apparent athletic achievements, several common social science practices contribute to the production of illusory results. In this article, we examine the processes that lead to illusory findings and describe …

Arrested Theory Development: The Misguided Distinction Between Exploratory and Confirmatory Research

Science progresses by finding and correcting problems in theories. Good theories are those that help facilitate this process by being hard to vary: They explain what they are supposed to explain, they are consistent with other good theories, and they …

Replication is Relevant in Qualitative Research

Replication has received increasing attention over the last decade. This comes on the heels of prominent instances of data fabrication (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, 2017) and estimates that few studies attempt to …

Evaluation of Transparency and Openness Guidelines in Physical Therapy Journals

Objective The goals of this study were to evaluate the extent that physical therapy journals support open science research practices by adhering to the Transparency and Openness Promotion guidelines and to assess the relationship between journal …

SnapShot: Reporting practices for publishing results with human PSCs and tissue stem cells

This checklist is intended to help scientists, reviewers, and editors prepare and assess manuscripts for inclusion of critical details relevant to work with pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) and tissue stem cells (TSCs) with the goal of increasing the …

ePlatypus: an ecosystem for computational analysis of immunogenomics data

Motivation The maturation of systems immunology methodologies requires novel and transparent computational frameworks capable of integrating diverse data modalities in a reproducible manner. Results Here, we present the ePlatypus computational …
