🎡 New preprint 🎡
We’re *SUPER* excited to share 🌟 The Academic Wheel of Privilege 💫 which an equity-based tool for authorship order.
Authorship order is often treated as a technical or administrative detail. But it is also tied to recognition, promotion, prestige, & career opportunity. When authorship decisions are framed as “neutral”—for example through convention, alphabetization, or randomization—they may still reproduce existing inequities rather than correct them.
Who gets to teach about open science, and who learns?
With our new ABRIR workshop plan, we want to flip the script.
Grateful for the chance to co-lead the creation of the plan (version 1 👀) with @NSCorralFrias and our amazing ABRIR team.

Earlier this week, I was invited to evaluate student research presentations at Taylor's University Lakeside Campus's second clinical psychology #symposium
A huge thanks to the Master of Clinical Psychology team for having me and also A BIG CONGRATS to all students for a job well done! 👏🥳
p/s:
we also talked about how #AI is gonna be a huge part of our lives, and why it’s so important to stay mindful and intentional in how we use it, especially in #clinicalpsychology research + practice 🤖
Happy to share that our "Open Science for and from the Majority World" project got ORCA funding! Led by @NSCorralFrias & Melissa Flores (UArizona), collaborating with #ABRIR team.
Glad to be contributing, alongside Melissa, Nadia, Alma Jeftic, @brendan, Sergio Barbosa De La Torre, and others.

Don't miss this chance to shape the future of psychological research! 🚀
Thank you all for being a part of ABRIR's (abrirpsy.org) panel session at the Big Team Science 2024 Conference yesterday! 🤗
It was great meeting you all & we hope you've been inspired with the efforts that ABRIR has been working on so far to bridge the gap between the Global South & the Global North in psychological research 🌏

Slides for a panel session for the third annual Big Team Science Conference, held virtually via Zoom October 8-10, 2024. Abstract Big-team and open science efforts have made great advancements. Specifically, big-team science, through large scale collaborations, has resulted in amazing progress in a range of scientific fields. In psychology, big-team and open science have helped improve methodological rigor and transparency as well as increase statistical power. However, both have fallen into many of the same problems that psychology as a field has in the past. There is a lack of representation of Low- and Middle-Income Country (LMIC) researchers, as well as other marginalized scientists. This lack of representation extends to samples, methodologies, and theoretical foundations, which hinders the advancement of generalizable psychological knowledge. Various academic associations, among them Advancing Big-team Reproducible Science through Increased Representation (ABRIR), founded in 2022, have started to address some of these issues. ABRIR seeks to diagnose the possible barriers that researchers from LMIC face as well as potential paths forward. Through collaborations with other associations (e.g. PSA, FORRT, COS) ABRIR has begun to increase access to open science educational materials (e.g. translation of materials, regional webinars in local languages). Further, this summer, ABRIR Hub leaders around the world have been holding regional events to, in part, diagnose barriers and seek possible paths forward to promote the participation of students and researchers in big-team science and open science practices. Through this panel session with representatives of ABRIR Hubs from Southeast Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe, and Africa, we plan to communicate some of our experiences and those of our regional Hub event attendees. By sharing our voices from the Global South/LMIC, we hope to raise awareness about barriers faced by researchers in LMIC and thus improve representation in Big-Team Science.
Registration is free for those from Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia 🌏 so register now at bigteamscienceconference.github.io
See you there! 👋
The Big Team Science 2024 Conference is back and I'm going to be part of ABRIR's panel session on 8th October!
Join me together with Nadia S. Corral-Frias, Sandesh Dakal, @nikitaghodke, Alma Jeftic, @alelazic, & Kwizera Rulinda on 8th Oct at 2PM (UTC time).
This means that it would be 10PM Malaysian time (GMT +8)! 🇲🇾
The panel session will be sharing insights on the barriers faced by psychological researchers & students from the #GlobalSouth.
