@renebekkers I'd only recently heard of the Resque framework by @nicebread (thanks to @alexh for introducing me to it!). Thanks for sharing about this conference and the very relevant resources for #metascience!

Thoughts: Useful list for PhD students and ECRs to check they have most things covered.

What could #metascience learn from #criminology for the prevention of #researchmisconduct and #researchintegrity violations? In a seminar at the Netherlands Institute for the Study of Crime and Law Enforcement (NSCR), I discussed with researchers in criminology how theories and findings from the field may be applied in the field of meta research.

#peerreview
Lots of new sign-ups to the METASERV email list recently. Don't know where everyone came from, but welcome. Stay tuned for #metascience announcements and discussion
I'm hiring multiple PhDs and postdocs to join our lab for a project titled CHEETAH: CHallenges of Evaluating Teams and Algorithms. https://candidate.hr-manager.net/ApplicationInit.aspx?cid=119&ProjectId=181763&DepartmentId=3439&MediaId=5
· Multimodal health data
· Data quality, evaluation metrics
· ML competitions
· Diversity and inclusion in ML education
Please reach out (via email) if you have questions + forward to others!

Pre-announcement: UKRI Metascience AI early career fellowships
https://www.ukri.org/opportunity/ukri-metascience-ai-early-career-fellowships/
"The UK Metascience Unit will fund a cohort of early career fellows to build our understanding of:
- how the growing adoption of AI is changing the research landscape, including what metascientific, ethical, epistemic, and socioeconomic questions this raises
- how governments, industry, and funding organisations should respond"
Closes 10 April,
How much of researchers' grant-funded research time is spent on bureaucracy rather than the research?
In 2018, it was 44.3% (in the U.S.).

#Psychology publication "transparency increased moderately from 2017 to 2022 [but] continues to be widely neglected" (N = 400 peer-reviewed articles).
#OpenAccess paper: https://doi.org/10.1177/25152459241283477
Researchers planning to do #SystematicReviews must now plan to filter out the #JunkScience. That's difficult, time-consuming, error-prone, and demoralizing. It causes some researchers to drop their plans and forces others to move more slowly.
