It will take place next Friday (May 5th) from 2:30pm-4:00pm. Our first meeting is dedicated to a general introduction to Open Science. This way we hope to introduce new people to Open Science and our Journal Club. Please feel free to share information about the session with colleagues and students. You’re very welcome to use the attached poster for this. Following the session we will announce the rest of the program for this semester, which will be dedicated to the topic „The complexity of the (replication) crisis: Intercorrelations between methods, theory and the scientific system“. As all planned sessions, the meeting on Friday is organized as a hybrid-event, so you can choose to attend in person (Room 1301 at Leopoldstraße 13) or you can join online (see link below). When: Friday, May 5th from 2:30pm-4:00pm Where: Leopoldstraße 13, Room 1301 or via zoom: Meeting-ID: 698 5572 6392 Kenncode: 439315 ( https://lmu-munich.zoom.us/j/69855726392?pwd=aElJZFJ3TGhYMFRBc3hjM1JXd3NIQT…) Below, you can find a short abstract for the session and its introductory presentation by two members of our team, Gracia Prüm and Laura Goetz (LMU Munich). Feel free to contact us if you have any questions or remarks. We are looking forward to seeing you soon! Your organisation team of ReproducibiliTea Munich Welcome to the Open Science Universe You have never heard of Open Science before? In our presentation "Welcome to the Open Science Universe" we are going to give an introduction to Open Science as well as the most important terms and topics linked to it. Have you ever wondered what goes wrong in science and why, and what you can do about it? Then you have come to the right place! Just a little spoiler: the goal of Open Science is to make science reproducible, open and accessible for everybody. Of course, we are also happy if people join us who are already experts in the field of Open Science, which will only make the discussion more interesting.

Guest lecture: Methodological Hypocrisy in Psychology by JP de Ruiter on 11.05. at 14:30
by LMU Open Science Center News April 12, 2023

April 12, 2023

Dear colleagues, we kindly invite you to an in person guest lecture from J.P. de Ruiter (Tufts University, Department of Computer Science) on "Methodological Hypocrisy in Psychology" - see abstract below. The talk takes the field of psychology as a starting point, but also makes more general points about statistical practices, NHST, and academic incentive structures that apply to many scientific fields. When: Thursday, 11.05.2023, 14:30 (s.t.) - 16:00 Where: Leopoldstraße 13, 80802 München, Room 3322 We hope for a large number of participants and a lively discussion! Felix Schönbrodt Title: Methodological Hypocrisy in Psychology Abstract: It is plausible that the widespread use of Questionable (or worse) Research Practices has substantially contributed to the current replication crisis in psychology. But would we still have a replication crisis if everyone had always played by the rules? We like to believe that we are aiming to be objective and self-critical, working towards a reliable body of knowledge about the mind/brain. Our methodological Superego is still guided by Popperian Falsificationism and Feynmanian "bending over backwards". However, our methodological Id wants to publish as many influential papers as we can, with as few resources as possible. In this Freudian model, it is the job of the methodological Ego to negotiate between these two conflicting desires. Our current system of methodological conventions, rules, and practices, essentially a fusion of inverse Falsificationism and NHST, is very effective at keeping both Superego and Id happy: it gives the impression of being objective, self-critical, and scientific, while at the same time making it very easy, too easy, to reach evidence standards that allow us to publish our claims. This means that even if we all "played by the rules", we would still not produce reliable knowledge. It is very difficult to change this situation, because the current incentive structures in scientific psychology strongly reward the publication of attractive findings, while there are hardly (if any) negative consequences for publishing false claims. Nevertheless, I will optimistically suggest a number of potential improvements.
