I dislike the replication crisis framing of open science reforms by both skeptics & proponents (itself an interesting case study in how scandals & psych drive discourse). Every major OS reform (open data, methods, study registration, open access) predates the replication crisis, some several decades

OP then noted that Gruyter-Brill has caved and is selling an AI training set too (w/author opt-out for now). I want to highlight how much this all looks like "just move" responses to climate-crisis-driven disasters. "Run" "don't publish" ONLY works for the privileged few. We need legislation.

Reflexivity is the act of examining one's own assumption, belief, and judgement systems, and thinking carefully and critically about how these influence the research process. The practice of reflexivity confronts and questions who we are as researchers and how this guides our work. It is central in debates on objectivity, subjectivity, and the very foundations of social science research and generated knowledge. Incorporating reflexivity in the research process is traditionally recognized as one of the most notable differences between qualitative and quantitative methodologies. Qualitative research centres and celebrates the participants' personal and unique lived experience. Therefore, qualitative researchers are readily encouraged to consider how their own unique positionalities inform the research process and this forms an important part of training within this paradigm. Quantitative methodologies in social and personality psychology, and more generally, on the other hand, have remai

Fifteen years ago someone called open access a "Marxist plot" at MPOW. Now misinformed haters are calling it a right-wing project. SMH
