Sep 4, 2024 | everythinghertz.com | Dan Quintana

Open access articles have democratized the availability of scientific research, but are author-paid publication fees undermining the quality of science?

182: What practices should the behavioural sciences borrow (and ignore) from other research fields?

Jul 2, 2024 | player.fm | Dan Quintana

Dan and James answer a listener question on what practices should the behavioural sciences borrow (and ignore) from other research fields. Here are the main takeaways: Keeping laboratory records and using electronic lab management software is beneficial practices biology that would benefit the behavioral sciences The rate of pre-registration of meta-analysis in psychology is low, unlike other fields, which have a higher pre-registration rate.
181: Down the rabbit hole

Jun 3, 2024 | player.fm | Dan Quintana |Scott Weingart |Anton Helman |James Fodor

We discuss how following citation chains in psychology can often lead to unexpected places, and how this can contribute to unreplicable findings. We also discuss why team science has taken longer to catch on in psychology compared to other research fields.
180: Consortium peer reviews

May 1, 2024 | player.fm | Dan Quintana

Dan and James discuss why innovation in scientific publishing is so hard, an emerging consortium peer review model, and a recent replication of the 'refilling soup bowl' study. Other things they cover and links: Which studies should we spend time replicating? The business models of for-profit scientific publishers How many tacos can you buy with the money it costs to publish open access in Nature?
179: Discovery vs. maintenance

Apr 2, 2024 | player.fm | Dan Quintana

Dan and James discuss how scientific research often neglects the importance of maintenance and long-term access for scientific tools and resources. Other things they cover: Should there be an annual limit on publications (even if this were somehow possible)?
Everything Hertz: 177: Plagiarism

Jan 30, 2024 | everythinghertz.com | Dan Quintana

We discuss two recent plagiarism cases, one you've probably heard about and another that you probably haven't heard about if you're outside Norway. We also chat about the parallels between plagiarism and sports doping—would people reconsider academic dishonesty if they were reminded that future technology may catch them out?
176: Tracking academic workloads

Dec 29, 2023 | player.fm | Dan Quintana

We chat about a paper on the invisible workload of open science and why academics are so bad at tracking their workloads. This episode was originally recorded in May 2023 in a hotel room just before our live recording of Episode 169, which is why we refer to the paper as a 'new' paper near the start of the episode.
175: Defending against the scientific dark arts

Dec 7, 2023 | player.fm | Dan Quintana

We chat about a recent blogpost from Dorothy Bishop, in which she proposes a Master course that will provide training in fraud detection—what should such a course specifically teach and where would these people work to apply their training? We also discuss whether open science is a cult that has trouble seeing outward.
