Peer Community in #RegisteredReports offers several INNOVATIONS in academic publishing:
1) One CENTRALISED REVIEW PROCESS opens the gateway to a growing list of PCI RR-friendly journals that will accept PCI RR recommendations without further review

@lakens's Sample Size Justification is a classic, but it is hard to digest for many chinese psy students.
OpenTrafer team of @OpenSciChina translated this long paper into Mandarin & proofread it w/ great care.
Finally, the translation is online, w/ > 7k hits within 24 hours

Want to speed up scientific progress? First understand how science policy works
Good piece in @nature
TL;DR:
1. Spend time working in government to understand how policy works
2. Look for ways to collaborate with think tanks (or in my experience, policy units in govt/NGOs)
3.Work to change academic norms to value use-inspired research (which to some extent is the reason I've been blogging about #ClimateServices this summer)
Neuroscientists successfully test theory that forgetting is actually a form of learning https://medicalxpress.com/news/2023-08-neuroscientists-successfully-theory.html
Adaptive expression of engrams by retroactive interference https://www.cell.com/cell-reports/fulltext/S2211-1247(23)01010-0
Highlights
• Retroactive interference causes forgetting by the competition of two memory engrams
• Forgotten engrams can be expressed or updated by reexposure to training cues
• Artificial reactivation of engram cells rescues interference-induced forgetting
• Interference is an active process that requires the activation of the suppressed engram
these findings indicate that retroactive interference modules engram expression in a manner that is both reversible and updatable. Inference may constitute a form of adaptive forgetting where, in everyday life, new perceptual and environmental inputs modulate the natural forgetting process.
Neuroscientists today report the first results from experimental tests designed to explore the idea that "forgetting" might not be a bad thing, and that it may represent a form of learning—and outline results that support their core idea.
