From 20-22 July, the 4th #ACM #Conference on Reproducibility and Replicability will take place in #Delft.
The conference welcomes contributions on methods, tools, case studies, and community efforts around #reproducibility and #replicability in #computational research.
Deadlines: 10 March (abstracts)/17 March (papers)

Ever wonder why some “scientific” claims sound convincing but fall apart under scrutiny?
This article explores the 3 vital rules of science. Together, they offer a powerful lens for evaluating conclusions.

Reading a paper this morning https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pds.4295 that follows Nosek & Errington (2017) https://elifesciences.org/articles/23383.pdf in muddling the distinction between #replicability as a broader scientific aim vs #reproducibility as captured in the narrow (purely 'computational') idea of #reproducibleresearch discussed e.g. in a #Guix context here https://guix.gnu.org/cookbook/en/html_node/Reproducible-Research.html.
This mistake is not uncommon, and leads (in this present paper, at least) to insufficient stress on computational reproducibility as a sine qua non of any higher-order quality attribute.
1/5 New article published in #FrontiersIn #Psychology! We introduce **fastACI**, an #openaccess toolbox that enables researchers to design auditory reverse-correlation experiments and analyze the resulting data. Auditory reverse-correlation is a powerful "ear-tracking" technique: it reveals which acoustic features participants rely on while listening to sounds, using nothing more than a computer and a pair of headphones. https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/psychology/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2025.1668690/full
A new article by Chloe Patton shows how debates about #OpenScience often slip into absurdity – like demanding #replication from the #Humanities. You can’t replicate history, culture, or interpretation the way you replicate a physics experiment. It’s a different kind of knowledge.

Forcing STEM-style standards onto the humanities doesn’t improve #science – it just adds bureaucracy and limits academic freedom.
Have you checked out our #OpenScience Bites #podcast yet? Stay tuned!
Very soon, we’ll be talking with Felipe Romero, Assistant Professor at the Faculty of #Philosophy. From a #MetaScience perspective, we’ll dive into the concepts of #reproducibility and #replicability, and why they matter for #research practice.
We’ll let you know as soon as the new episode is online!
In the meantime, feel free to listen to our earlier episodes:
Even discounting bad faith and charlatans, in the biological sciences (which I am familiar with) and probably other research, we get results... but even with meticulous lab books, it's hard to reproduce the exact same experiment and replicate the exact same results. Because we really don't know all the variables
