A checklist is associated with increased quality of reporting preclinical biomedical research: A systematic review

Irreproducibility of preclinical biomedical research has gained recent attention. It is suggested that requiring authors to complete a checklist at the time of manuscript submission would improve the quality and transparency of scientific reporting, …

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 …

A reputation economy: how individual reward considerations trump systemic arguments for open access to data

Open access to research data has been described as a driver of innovation and a potential cure for the reproducibility crisis in many academic fields. Against this backdrop, policy makers are increasingly advocating for making research data and …

A Social Psychological Model of Scientific Practices: Explaining Research Practices and Outlining the Potential for Successful Reforms

A test of the diffusion model explanation for the worst performance rule using preregistration and blinding

People with higher IQ scores also tend to perform better on elementary cognitive-perceptual tasks, such as deciding quickly whether an arrow points to the left or the right Jensen (2006). The worst performance rule (WPR) finesses this relation by …

Adapting open science and pre-registration to longitudinal research

Open science practices, such as pre-registration and data sharing, increase transparency and may improve the replicability of developmental science. However, developmental science has lagged behind other fields in implementing open science practices. …

Advocating for Change in How Science is Conducted to Level the Playing Field

Open science practices have the potential to greatly accelerate progress in scientific research if widely adopted, but individual action may not be enough to...

Advocating for Generalizability: Accepting Inherent Variability in Translation of Animal Research Outcomes
