Assistant prof at Utrecht University. Trying to make science as reproducible as non-scientists think it is
Prof DynarskiDid you know that each recipient gets a *randomly* ordered listing of that week's papers?
Why?
Research showed being top of the list increased a paper's views and cites
So NBER started randomizing to spread the wealth
Hilda Bastian...My take now? Making quoting easy is not a major vector for abuse or toxicity, and there are benefits.
That’s not to say that the quote tweet can’t be abused. Every form of tweet/post can be, and is.
The toxicity was already there, thriving in replies in particular, and amplified in all its forms by the algorithm, retweets, and hashtags.
Did the quote tweet make it worse? If it did, it may not have been by much - and in a couple of datasets, it improved civility.
2/2
I'd fallen for, and helped spread, what I now realize was a myth about quote tweets: That there's almost no research on them. Big mistake! Now rectified.
Here's my new post, digging into more than 30 studies with data on quote tweets. They don't settle all the questions. But there are answers, or at least partial ones, to most. It's still complicated, though.
It's a * very * long read, but there are summary points ....1/2

Brian NosekOur Annual Review piece "Replicability, Robustness, and Reproducibility in Psychological Science" was the 4th most downloaded article across Annual Review journals in 2022 (https://www.annualreviews.org/page/top-2022).
Because of that, they have made the formatted version openly accessible for a limited time (https://www.annualreviews.org/doi/10.1146/annurev-psych-020821-114157).
And, the Green OA version is always open: https://psyarxiv.com/ksfvq/

Is there any* good reason to report participant demographics in text instead of in a table?
I remember spending considerable time learning how to write the sample description paragraph as a student, but as a reader this part always feels like the worst waste of my time
* One obvious exception being anomalies of the data collection or sample characteristics that can't be communicated in a table (but even then I'd much prefer having all the "normal" numbers in a table)
Tom StaffordTODAY: Volkswagen Foundation workshop on "Risky research", Hannover, Germany and looking forward to a day and a half of research on research funding, #metascience and partial randomisation for grant allocation
There's a hashtag apparently #PeerReviewLottery
