With more and more websites going down, whether overwhelmed by bot traffic or starved of ad revenue, it is time for scholarly referencing guidelines for citing a website to include an archived version, just as Wikipedia has long recommended en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiped... #metascience

It's rather wonderful to be back at Harvard (as a visiting scholar this term) where I spent so much time 15-20 years ago. We both have aged and are wiser (and look more upmarket), but the intellectual excitement and inspiration remains the same.

Great news! Our team has secured three new UKRI metascience projects worth approximately £500,000 in total! Helping shape how science is evaluated and funded.

"AI cannot replace human participants in behavioral research"

My take: fair for new findings, less so for replications. #LLMs have absorbed the nomological networks between constructs, so they may reproduce known effects.

NIH Launches $174M for Replicability and Reproducibility Initiatives
www.insidehighered.com/news/governm... #MetaScience
Includes funding lines that follow the many-labs idea (many being a handful here), install "rigor ambassadors" and an U.S.-based reproducibility network

First results from our UKRI metascience project: one of the first studies of LLM grant scoring, using anonymised data within UKRI's secure environment. Insights for AI-assisted grant review. More to follow! arxiv.org/abs/2609.25327 #Metascience #PeerReview

How to prevent this problem? Instrumentation stamping artifacts with cryptographically signed attestation for provenance? That could be useful for more than just fraud detection.

#Metascience from the @snsf_ch data team

Interesting reading. But this line from the author felt piercing, “note: I personally view wanting to be first to a discovery as a relatively fixed behavioral quality of scientists for at least the next few generations.” When did we become about priority > purpose? #scisci #metascience #histsci

How to justify the use of prompts in research studies?

2/2 Yet a seniority gap remains: women had 27% lower odds of last authorship, a position that often signals seniority or lab leadership and was still most commonly held by men.

Music psychology is more balanced than many STEM fields, but barriers to senior leadership remain. #gender #metascience
