“Open research is about more than the tightening of analytical and methodological standards. The movement also invites us to reconsider how, and by whom, knowledge is created, shared and evaluated”

Nolan and Villarroel propose open, peer-reviewed standards for credible UAP science — conservative claims, transparent data, reproducible analyses, and released datasets/tools to enable broader scientific and citizen participation. #UAP #OpenSci #CitizenScience
This was a good read. I believe that regardless of your opinion on AI, replicability, open science etc we can all find common ground on at least some of these points.
Change is needed in science particularly in the current publishing model

Has anyone published a pre-print to find that a similar article has been published just before or after yours was published in a peer review journal?
Please reply or message me with your experience!

arXiv one of the latest to begin blanket rejecting of papers due to AI. This follows Plos and Frontiers approach to papers using NHANES data.
I feel a drastic change will eventually come to academia in terms of publication, open data etc. How will we adapt?

"Preregistarians may have an answer to that, of course. It goes something like: 'yeah, but that isn’t the right kind of preregistered study. You have to do it right'.”

“[Psychologists] were typically interested in going beyond direct replication and exploring the phenomenon further in conceptual replications. Thus, they seemed to entertain the kind of wider view of replication that Feest and others have emphasized.”

As the bio says: using Science in ways not intended by dusty books, teaching it in new ways, communicating it in ways not always approved by the powers that be. Lectures on why Homeopathy sucks, why vaccine denial is idiotic, etc. and calling it that, for example. Using #opensci a lot.
Again, the point here is not to vilify openness. Healthy science requires both a great degree of transparency and significant accountability to nonexpert audiences. But Nguyen (2022) was right that, when expertise matters, transparency alone does not lead to the ideal social epistemic outcomes. Healthy epistemic communities involve a good mix of transparency and trust, and despite what you might infer from some of the rhetoric surrounding OS, more transparency does not always lead to more trust (de Fine Licht and Naurin 2015). Transparency is a way to monitor those we do not fully trust, and so we sometimes take it as evidence that actors are untrustworthy (de Fine Licht 2011). Even with the increase in replication work and other OS practices, science will always require a great deal of just trusting that scientists are generally honest actors. That openness can reduce as well as increase trust is thus an important reason not to treat openness as an unmitigated epistemic good.
Reminds me of this recent paper by Carlos Santana

Curious to hear others thoughts and how this can affect research, e.g., systematic reviews can become over represented by similar studies, as well as the peer review and editorial process

"This would mean building policies and practices, at every level, that support not only rigorous research but humane and compassionate interactions with one another: the values of collegiality, care and thoughtfulness that open research claims to promote."

This paper embarks on a fairytale story of how psychology slid into a credibility crisis that shook the field to its bones—and it tells how researchers and entire institutions reacted to restore confidence in psychological research. The paper also foreshadows how today’s business research is in a similar position as psychology some years ago. By telling this fairytale (see Fig. 1), we aim to provide some guidance for business research on what to learn from the initiatives that several fields in psychology implemented during the last two decades, their merits as well as limitations. We intend to foster debates across business research fields on how open science practices can help to ensure that insights from key research fields like entrepreneurship, sustainability, and digitalization remain valid, credible, actionable, and trustworthy.

“Science is a human endeavor with flaws and biases. Scientists strive toward truth by identifying and correcting those very flaws. Yes, such openness can be exploited...But a world in which scientists soft-pedal or hide self-criticism would be worse.”

“Our ‘essential tension’ then is between the need for conformity and the need for experimentation, such that a research culture can be maintained but can also gradually improve itself.”

Calls for qualitative research to adopt open science practices are growing louder, often framed as universally desirable reforms. Yet, such calls too often ignore the epistemic, ethical, and relational distinctiveness of qualitative inquiry, making ‘openness’ a site of epistemic and political struggle. In this article, I articulate concerns about the uncritical adoption of open science principles, particularly data sharing mandates, within qualitative research. I contend that, when imposed as default, opening qualitative inquiry risks enacting harm through three key pathways: the commodification of qualitative data (including via AI tools), the decontextualization and objectification of narratives, and the erosion of participant trust and consent. These risks are not speculative. In fact, they are foreseeable outcomes of applying quantitative logics to qualitative contexts without due reflexivity (which, I contend, represent a kind of epistemic colonialism). In this paper, I position qualitative openness not as a neutral or technical good, but as a contested terrain in which power, epistemology, and institutional politics are negotiated. Against the backdrop of audit culture and algorithmic extractivism, I argue that the push to open qualitative data risks reproducing colonial and neoliberal logics under the banner of reform – a risk that should not be taken lightly.
"Building on Leonelli’s call for judicious connection and decolonial scholarship that centres relationality and knowledge stewardship, I argue for a model of openness grounded in situated ethics, dynamic consent, and resistance to imposed transparency."
