Bots are scraping open data — with risks for identification of participants, p-hacking by bots and more. Is transparency worth these risks? www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Wonderful news! Journal of Research on Research is launched.
"if you are a researcher who researches any aspect of research, then this is the journal and community for you."
Worth reading the whole editorial for a transparent and thoughtful account of this amazing community-driven effort.
"Academics often help guide thought and debate on difficult or sensitive issues. There is a reason that totalitarian governments, eager to avoid dissent, purge academics." www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

🎉New paper out today in Nature Reviews Psychology🎉 with @mjdahl.bsky.social, @mariamaly.bsky.social, and @thiasmittner.bsky.social.
We've been working on a unified framework for attentional states and the dynamics of transitions between them.

We're excited to launch J·ROR, the Journal of Research on Research.
A new open-access home for research on how research is funded, organised, conducted, communicated, and evaluated.

"AI can search vast spaces and surface unexpected regularities; humans bring judgement, taste and the ability to invent fresh ways of thinking. This collaboration is already producing new results. " www.nature.com/articles/d41...
'Adopting collaborative grant writing can be a gateway towards a funding system in which resources are used efficiently, to do better and more important research." www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The politicization of academic collaborations threatens to harm international science
Scientists with disparate expertise writing grants together can identify knowledge gaps and drive progress — but systems must change to incentivize them.

Artificial intelligence is not replacing human intuition in these fields, but reimagining how questions are asked, explored and understood.
“A habitable, equal 21st century is materially possible,” the report concludes. “What stands in the way is not technical impossibility but political choice and the hard but crucial work of building a coalition behind it.”
