Yeah, I’m thinking something along those lines. Another example would be a test of differences in reports of adverse events between an active and placebo treatment

@dsquintana.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 6:44 PM

That's along the lines of what I'm thinking, I'm putting together some simulations and tests. A "reversed" Mathur and VanderWeele sensitivity analysis looks promising in initial simulations but only in certain conditions doi.org/10.1111/rssc...

@dsquintana.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 5:10 PM

I'm more interested in auxiliary tests, which aren't the central outcomes but would partly (or fully) invalidate the focal outcome. So studies would either not be published at all (less likely) or the test result itself simply wouldn't be reported.

@dsquintana.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 5:08 PM

Yeah, that's also my experience with trying out some "reverse" selection models via simulation. Good to hear it's not just me!

@dsquintana.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 2:49 PM

Yeah, that’s the sort of thing I’m thinking. But how to evaluate this in a body of research? I have some ideas but want to find out what others have done

@dsquintana.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 1:50 PM

Like a scenario where someone does a computational reanalysis, finds no issue, then doesn't write anything up?

@dsquintana.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 12:41 PM

Nooooooo! This instance was nowhere near as consequential as your case

@dsquintana.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 12:32 PM

Perfect

@dsquintana.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 12:32 PM

Publication bias is the idea that non-significant results are less likely to be published. But what about the opposite case where a *significant* result is less likely to be published? Anyone have any papers or tools for detecting and/or correcting for “reverse” publication bias?

wait, what am I supposed to select here?

Fascinating insights into the early history of Zotero, including the fact that the name is the Albanian word for "to learn well or master". Hats off to everyone involved in this project. Also if you're not using Zotero, why not? Dump that closed rubbish you're using now and switch.

Great to see that the 2027 World Congress on Neurohypophysial Hormones is now open for registration and abstract submissions. I'm looking forward to attending in Crete next May 🇬🇷 Not a bad spot to discuss oxytocin and vasopressin research wcnh2027.com/index.html

Great to work with @benjurek.bsky.social and Julia Winter on this one

How can the hormone oxytocin have such a wide range of effects on physiology and behavior, which is often context-dependent?

In our new review, we discuss this context dependency at the level of the oxytocin receptor www.frontiersin.org/journals/neu...

Yeah, I get the feeling its an overzealous editorial assistant (human or AI) signing on behalf of the Editor

@dsquintana.bsky.socialOct 6, 2026, 11:17 AM

Thanks for this heads up, I was actually considering this journal for an upcoming submission of another manuscript. On paper, the journal seems like a great concept, so it's a shame that manuscript handling looks like a mess

@dsquintana.bsky.socialOct 6, 2026, 10:59 AM

I've had two recent instances where journals keep making vague requests to make changes to submitted manuscripts. I do my best to make the change, but they still tell me there's an issue. I ask for more specific info regarding the request, but the manuscript keeps getting returned to me with no info

Six-panel meme from The Simpsons ("Homer at the Bat"). Mr. Burns repeatedly orders baseball player Don Mattingly to get rid of his sideburns, though Mattingly has none. Mattingly shaves the sides of his head bare, and Burns then kicks him off the team for not trimming his sideburns.

I had an early view of this as part of Greta Gerdes external thesis proposal advisory (don’t believe she is on here…), but no other involvement, it’s one of the most exciting findings on psychiatric genetics, due to both the genetics ANd The phenotyping. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.6...

Materials sharing has increased over the past decade, which is great, but these materials are often tricky to use. Tools like this will really help improve usability bsky.app/profile/dsqu...

@dsquintana.bsky.socialOct 5, 2026, 9:27 AM

Without actually sending your scripts/data to other people, it can be hard to ensure others can easily use your materials. This looks like a great solution. Another cool feature is that users can also tweak scripts to see how conclusions can change when different parameters are used.
