Too often, I see people talk about a replication as if the first study has established something, and the replication study is a double-check. What people often fail to understand is that we do not do replication studies to *check* a finding, but to *establish* a finding. 1/x
@MarcusMunafo Thanks for trying! It is still amazing how slow the uptake of equivalence testing is, given that it is just a 90%CI of the same test you ordinarily do, but against a smallest effect if interest. Yes, setting it is a challenge, but important enough to spend some time on!
I just became president of a scientific society and my first act was to disagree with one of my heroes...Arie Kruglanski gave a keynote arguing social psychology needs MORE Big Beautiful Theories. I think that's exactly backwards. Here's why...
While individualism and isolated work remain common in #academia, coordination offers substantial benefits. This Comment urges systemic changes from all stakeholders toward more coordinated #science. @sajedeh_rasti @lakens nature.com/articles/s4156…

@lu_sichu @tracewoodgrains Mixed feelings. In practice he is right. The big problems are as follows: - people who conduct meta-analyses are often not meta-analysts so they haven’t a clue what they are doing or how to interpret anything. - I think there is a fundamental misalignment between what readers…
Very excited to publicly share news about a new tool, Papercheck, that Lisa DeBruine and me started to develop more than a year ago! In an introductory blog post, we explain our philosophy to automatically check scientific papers for best practices. daniellakens.blogspot.com/2025/06/introd…
I'm pleased to announce the publication of two important papers in Sports Medicine on the first every large replication project in sport and exercise science. Read the full papers: link.springer.com/article/10.100… link.springer.com/article/10.100…

In short, theories serve human purposes; their creation is motivated and their logic is organized by the skills and limitations of human capabilities. - Robert Dubin

Happy Friday everyone! I just posted what I think is an important blog post on my website. It is a critique of meta-meta-analyses: meta-analyses of meta-analyses.
Sometimes you need a carrot, sometimes you need a (small) stick. @JSportsSci we've introduced a mandatory sample size estimation and justification section to manuscripts. The rationale is outlined in the editorial. Editorial tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… IFA tandfonline.com/action/authorS…
20/ Final word: Let scientists decide what counts as evidence. Let society decide what to do with it. Don’t confuse acceptance with action. Neyman’s behaviorism in science is about inquiry, not policy.
12/ Scientists are responsible for error control—not for managing risks in the world. Those risks must be evaluated by policymakers who apply the science, not by those who produce it.
