LLMs are used widely in the behavioral sciences. But we have no good standards for how to do so.
We introduce a consensus-based reporting checklist to improve transparency, reproducibility and ethical accountability of LLM-based research in the behavioural sciences.

Industry is parasitic on academia for research, innovation, and training. The sweeping attacks on academia currently underway in the US are going to gut industry in the years to come. hbr.org/2026/06/the-...
I wonder how such discrepencies in # of citations and elsewhere across works in OA and across platforms are actually affecting the #SciSci research and the conclusions that follow.
Paying peer reviewers works.
Expanded Fast & Fair experiment @biologyopen.bsky.social:
• 5.5 vs 37.7 working days to decision with reviews
• ~3 vs ~9 reviewer invitations per manuscript
• no reduction in editor-assessed review quality
• similar acceptance rates

What's going on with #OpenAlex? I searched for api.openalex.org/works/W43852... which used to refer to the "Attention is all you need" paper. However, it now points to a paper: "MizAR 60 for Mizar 50" which according to OA has 75k cites, but really has about 15 (according to google and sem. scholar)

#ATProtoScience tools can enable sensemaking and maybe some nerdy jobs in the near future:
"Similar to how social media made influencers... maybe there'll be influencers [as scholarly] sensemakers... [attendee: high need for cognition people]..."
Yep, that's my dream job, @ronentk.me
Interesting post by Jessica Hullman. In a future where autonomous research is possible at scale, one can imagine companies building their own bodies of scientific knowledge and not sharing it. Unlike human scientists, AI scientists are not motivated to share their work.
Had a great conversation today with @jortscity.bsky.social @wesleyfinck.org about the attention economy and how we can connect personal tools for thought like @obsidian.md into tools for collective thought with @semble.so and #atproto
"seize the means of sensemaking"
