Open Science is gaining ground in all research fields, including health economics and outcomes research (HEOR). However, teaching Open Science is still in its infancy. This paper describes the design, implementation and evaluation of a teaching …
In this blog post, Dr Dermot Lynott, Assistant Professor in Psychology at Maynooth University, and Lead Investigator on the NORF-funded National Open Research Training Programme introduces the work of the project and its overall goals for open …
This series of lecture slides were used during the "Advanced Simulation for Health Economic Analysis" course at the University of Twente, which took place in February - May 2023.
The following Open Science topics were introduced to the course …
Background
Open science practices are implemented across many scientific fields to improve transparency and reproducibility in research. Complementary, alternative, and integrative medicine (CAIM) is a growing field that may benefit from adoption of …
Although replication is a central tenet of science, direct replications are rare in psychology. This research tested variation in the replicability of 13 classic and contemporary effects across 36 independent samples totaling 6,344 participants. In …
Examines several prominent trends in the conduct of psychological research and considers how they may limit progress in the field. Failure to appreciate important differences in temperament among researchers, and differences in the particular talents …
The ability to self-correct is considered a hallmark of science. However, self-correction does not always happen to scientific evidence by default. The trajectory of scientific credibility can fluctuate over time, both for defined scientific fields …
Psychology has recently been viewed as facing a replication crisis because efforts to replicate past study findings frequently do not show the same result. Often, the first study showed a statistically significant result but the replication does not. …
There has been much debate in recent years about how open research practices, which have been promoted in efforts to improve research robustness, may (not) be appropriate for qualitative methodologies, particularly in educational research. Among …
We discuss three arguments voiced by scientists who view the current outpouring of concern about replicability as overblown. The first idea is that the adoption of a low alpha level (e.g., 5%) puts reasonable bounds on the rate at which errors can …
