Invitation: ReproducibiliTea - Session 9
by LMU Open Science Center News July 25, 2022

July 25, 2022

Hello all, we would like to invite you to the ninth meeting of our Journal Club “ReproducibiliTea” which will be the last one for this semester. It will already take place this Friday from 2:30pm to 4:00pm. We are very happy to welcome Prof. Chris Donkin (LMU Munich) as our guest who will give the introductory talk and participate in the open discussion afterwards. This time the session will take place online via Zoom (see link below). When? Friday, 29th of July 2022, 2:30pm-4:00pm Where? via Zoom: Meeting ID: 917 8852 1090 / Password: Replicate (https://lmu-munich.zoom.us/j/91788521090?pwd=QmJPeEZLcGtYeGlmeGFnazVoUVFzQT…) Paper: Szollosi, A., & Donkin, C. (2021). Arrested Theory Development: The Misguided Distinction Between Exploratory and Confirmatory Research. Perspectives on Psychological Science, 16(4), 717–724. https://doi.org/10.1177/1745691620966796 Procedure: Prof. Chris Donkin, one of the paper’s authors, will start with a short talk about the paper (roughly 20-30 min). We will then continue with an open discussion in which you can contribute your own thoughts and questions. It would be helpful to have read the announced paper, but there is no obligation to do so. We prepared the following key questions to guide you through the discussion and also provide some guidance while reading the paper. For each question, you can think about the suggestions from the paper, but also bring in your own ideas: 1. How might the flexibility of theories contribute to replicability problems? 2. What are the characteristics of good theories? 3. Is preregistration misguided to prevent QRPs? What could be arguments for and against such an opinion? Below, you can find a short abstract for the introductory talk by our guest: Prof. Dr. Chris Donkin (LMU Munich) Feel free to contact us if you have any questions and/or remarks. We would also appreciate it if you could forward this email to anyone who might also be interested in attending the session (e.g. colleagues from your study/working group). We are looking forward to seeing you soon! Your organisation team Laura Goetz, Stephan Nuding, Leonhard Schramm Better theory development as a response to the prevalence of QRPs Concerns about so-called QRPs, and especially p-hacking, are typically based on concerns about false-positive statistical outcomes. However, the outcome of a statistical test is not equivalent to a scientific claim, and so elevated Type-I error rates do not speak directly to reduced replicability. We will explain why certain kinds of statistical analyses, including those forms of p-hacking that seem most egregious, will indeed lead to an inability to predict the outcome of future experiments. The problem, simply put, is that without sufficient scientific argument, any statistical analysis taken at face value is an ad hoc explanation, from which there is no good reason to expect to understand the world. We contrast such explanations with good theories and discuss what those are. Thinking about p-hacking from this perspective helps provide a way of deciding what kinds of analyses are good or bad, independent of whether they are p-hacked, ‘exploratory’, or ‘confirmatory’. About the speaker Chris Donkin is a Professor of Computational Modelling in Psychology at LMU Munich. His work focuses on explaining cognitive phenomena, such as memory and decision-making, often relying on using mathematical and computational models as aids to help understand and test our theories.

Reminder: application call: free 3-day crash course in open science 27.-29. Sept in Planegg-Martinsried
by LMU Open Science Center News July 18, 2022

July 18, 2022

There is one week left to apply for the crash course on open science taking place on 27.-29. September in Planegg-Martinsried! If you are a LMU member, please apply here: https://tellmi.psy.lmu.de/formr/OpenScienceCrashCourseApplication If you are not a member of the LMU, we are now taking your registration of interest, and will consider your application if there are any remaining seats, please apply here: https://tellmi.psy.lmu.de/formr/CrashCourseApplication-nonLMU Best wishes Malika -- Dr. Malika Ihle (she/her) (pronounciation<https://namedrop.io/malikaihle>) LMU Open Science Center Coordinator www.osc.lmu.de<http://www.osc.lmu.de/> | @lmu_osc<https://twitter.com/lmu_osc> | @MalikaIhle<https://twitter.com/MalikaIhle> >> Subscribe to the LMU OSC mailing list<https://lists.lrz.de/mailman/listinfo/lmu-osc> From: Malika Ihle <> Sent: Wednesday, 22 June 2022 11:42 To: 'lmu-osc(a)lists.lrz.de' <lmu-osc(a)lists.lrz.de> Subject: application call: free 3-day crash course in open science 27.-29. Sept in Planegg-Martinsried Apply now for a free three-day crash course in Open Science 27.-29. Sept. 2022 in Planegg-Martinsried. Application deadline: 25 July 2022 Good scientific practice in empirical disciplines nowadays goes beyond the avoidance of bad practices, such as plagiarism or data fabrication: science is expected to be reproducible, funders and journals increasingly demand open data as a precondition for funding and publication, and the need for preregistration of studies expands beyond the medical sciences. More generally, open research refers to efforts to ensure that the research process is transparent, with equitable access for all to learn, understand, contextualise, build upon, or even assess or verify the research. In the last few years, many novel approaches, tools, and technologies have emerged that allow for a comprehensive representation of the research process that goes far beyond descriptions of research methods and results as found in traditional scientific articles. Open research practices have the potential to revolutionise the way research outputs are communicated, and to facilitate research collaborations in an unprecedented manner. However, adopting these practices requires knowledge and skills that are not usually taught in undergraduate or graduate degree programmes. To start closing this gap, the LMU Open Science Center, supported by the LMU Faculty of Biology, and with guest instructors from the Society for Open, Reliable, and Transparent Ecology and Evolutionary biology, offer a three days crash school to guide early career researchers (MSc. students, PhD students, and postdocs) towards an open, transparent, and reproducible research workflow. Programme The three days crash course will consist of a series of lectures and workshops on the following topics: * Replicability crisis & Open Science Framework * Reproducible workflows & Version control * Preregistration & Simulation of data * Biases & Common statistical mistakes * Data sharing & Meta-analysis For the current tentative schedule, please visit the LMU Open Science Center - Crash Course 2022 webpage<https://www.osc.uni-muenchen.de/news/crash_course_20220927/index.html> and get the pdf from the download section at the bottom of the page. Application process LMU members from any scientific discipline can apply before 25 July 12:00 noon. Members of the Faculty of Biology, which is sponsoring this event, will be given up to 30 seats, and 10 seats will be reserved for any other LMU members. Applicants will be asked to provide a brief statement (max. 300 words) about their motivation and future or recently started research projects in which they would like to apply open and reproducible research practices. When relevant, the statement should address what particular challenges applicants encountered in their work which would be addressed by the crash course; what open research practices they already practice; if any other courses were attended; etc. If more applications are received than can be accommodated, the organising committee will select participants on the basis of the project and experience that they describe. We will favor applicants who are novices but who have already identified a need for applying the skills acquired. Following acceptance, we require a signed form from the supervisor/PI to indicate that they will support the use of transparent and reproducible practices in the applicant's research project.
