ReproducibiliTea session When? Friday, 27th of January 2023, 2:30pm-4:00pm Where? Hybrid: Room 3322 at Leopoldstraße 13, 80802 Munich or via Zoom: https://lmu-munich.zoom.us/j/91788521090?pwd=QmJPeEZLcGtYeGlmeGFnazVoUVFzQT… Meeting ID: 917 8852 1090 / Password: Replicate Discussion topic: The Ideal of Preregistration and what warrants it Paper Presented (Draft): Peikert, A., & Brandmaier, A. M.(2023). Why does preregistration increase the persuasiveness of evidence? A Bayesian rationalization. https://aaronpeikert.github.io/bayes-prereg/manuscript.pdf Abstract: The replication crisis spurned many researchers to preregister their analyses before acquiring data. However, there is no agreement on what preregistration should accomplish and why it is uniquely suited to these goals. A widespread view is that preregistration should limit how much the data may influence the hypotheses tested on the same data (i.e., restrict researchers' degrees of freedom)). If no such influence occurs, an analysis is generally considered confirmatory. Consequently, many researchers believe that only confirmatory studies benefit from preregistration. In this presentation, Aaron Peikert argues that limiting preregistration to confirmatory research is unnecessarily restrictive. To that end, he will suggest how to formalize the objective of preregistration and aim to demonstrate that exploratory studies also benefit from the practice. Lastly, implications for the practice of preregistration will be discussed.

Eric-Jan Wagenmakers Bayes factor seminar tomorrow
by LMU Open Science Center News Jan. 10, 2023

Jan. 10, 2023

Announced on behalf of Stephan Hartmann, from the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy<https://www.mcmp.philosophie.uni-muenchen.de/index.html>: There is a seminar tomorrow 11.01. at 16:00 from Eric-Jan Wagenmakers in Ludwigstr. 31, ground floor, Room 021, which you are welcome to attend in person. Title: APPROXIMATE OBJECTIVE BAYES FACTORS FROM P-VALUES AND SAMPLE SIZE: THE 3p√n RULE Abstract: This presentation consists of a main course and a dessert. The main course concerns the approximate objective Bayes factor (henceforth JAB) proposed by Sir Harold Jeffreys in 1936. We revisit JAB and introduce a simple piecewise transformation that establishes a direct connection to the frequentist two-sided p-value. This provides p-value practitioners with a straightforward opportunity to obtain Bayesian benefits such as the ability to monitor evidence as data accumulate without reaching a foregone conclusion. For dessert I demonstrate that the much-bemoaned sensitivity of the Bayes factor to the prior distribution is in fact a condition sine qua non for coherent (i.e., non-farcical) inference. Best wishes and happy new year!

Workshop: Reproducible Research in R, 26.01.2023
by LMU Open Science Center News Dec. 15, 2022

Dec. 15, 2022

Dear Open Science enthusiasts, The LMU Open Science Center is pleased to announce the following workshop: Workshop: Reproducible Research in R | How to do the same thing more than once When: Thursday, 26 Jan 2023, 09:00-12:00 Where: Hybrid format - in-person in room 3322 Leopoldstr. 13, Munich and on Zoom Abstract: Many researchers want to work reproducibly, but it is not easy. They must invest considerable time to acquire the knowledge of what is even possible, before getting the skills required for reproducible research. This workshop gives researchers a taste of how to create reproducible data analyses in R (and beyond). Specifically, researchers will learn, in a pre-set online environment, one way to automate the whole process from raw data to publishable manuscripts. This automation is possible by combining dynamic document generation (via R Markdown), version control (via Git), workflow orchestration (via Make) and software management (via Docker). These tools and, therefore, automatic reproduction of results are available on any machine with Docker installed. The resulting workflow is, hence, highly transferable across machines and time. These core properties of reproducibility are demonstrated for any reader by automatically reproducing the manuscript online via GitHub Actions. Instructor: Aaron Peikert, Center for Lifespan Psychology, Max Planck Institute for Human Development Facilitator: Felix Henninger (Chair for Statistics and Data Science in Social Sciences and the Humanities, LMU) More information and registration: https://en.xing-events.com/BUSNJFO.html Best wishes Malika -- Dr. Malika Ihle (she/her) (pronounciation<https://namedrop.io/malikaihle>) LMU Open Science Center Coordinator @MalikaIhle<https://twitter.com/MalikaIhle> | @MalikaIhle@scicomm.xyz<https://scicomm.xyz/web/@MalikaIhle> www.osc.lmu.de<http://www.osc.lmu.de/> | @lmu_osc<mailto:@lmu_osc> |@lmu_osc@scicomm.xyz<https://scicomm.xyz/web/@lmu_osc> Newsletter: https://lists.lrz.de/mailman/listinfo/lmu-osc

Open Science Community on Mastodon - an easy to use online directory
by LMU Open Science Center News Nov. 25, 2022

Nov. 25, 2022

Forwarded on behalf of the German Reproducibility Network ________________________________ Dear colleagues, there is currently an intense debate in the scientific community about whether to continue using Twitter. Many scientists use Mastodon as an alternative platform to connect to their colleagues and talk about things that matter to the Open Science movement. Switching to a new platform always involves certain hurdles and opportunity costs. In order to lower these thresholds and aid the development of the Open Science community, the GRN is maintaining a directory of community members to increase findability on Mastodon. So, If you're wondering how to find your existing contacts on Twitter on the new platform this list is your first stop: https://germanrepro.github.io/Mastodon-OpenScience The list serves two purposes, on the one hand you can add your own Mastodon account there to be found easier, on the other hand you can import the accounts stored there (all or selected) into your Mastodon account and follow them directly. A general overview about Mastodon and how it works can be found in the following article: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2018/08/mastodon-quick-start-guide/ An overview of different server instances (so-called federations) from the scientific field can be found on the following page: https://fediscience.org/server-list.html An interesting analysis, about switching to the new platform, which we would like to recommend, has been written by Andy Tattersall: https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2022/11/10/academics-can-eas… Please share this mail with your colleagues and within your networks! Best regards and see you on the other side, Rima, Guido and Maximilian from the GRN

Forwarded on behalf of the German Reproducibility Network which the LMU Open Science Center is now a part of! ________________________________ Dear all, We hope you are well, and please excuse any double-posting of this message. We are pleased to invite you to our upcoming virtual brainstorming event (VBE) on “How to build, grow, and sustain reproducible research or open science initiatives” on November 22-23, 2022. There will also be an optional one-hour welcome session on November 21. The event is open to all individuals passionate about reproducible research and open science. A live panel session on the same topic will be held during the event on November 23. Some of the specific topics that we will discuss during the VBE include: What resources and strategies have you used to start initiatives focusing on reproducibility or open science? What techniques and creative solutions have you tried to grow and sustain your initiative? What worked, and what didn’t work? What challenges or obstacles has your initiative faced? How did you overcome these obstacles? How can we engage initiative participants, while building connections with those who aren’t involved yet? What advice would you give to someone who is just starting an initiative? What do you wish you’d known, when you first became involved? Please sign up to the virtual brainstorming event via this link<https://www.bihealth.org/en/translation/innovation-enabler/quest-center/eve…>. Registration will close when 100 participants have registered, or on November 18. Please sign up for the panel discussion via this link<https://gfz-potsdam-de.zoom.us/meeting/register/u50rf-ihqj0iH9LPgPTRzTSHPAL…>. Panelists are actively involved in initiatives that focus on open science, open code, reproducible research, or guidelines and research practices. Find more information on the panelists and the session via this link<https://www.bihealth.org/en/notices/how-to-build-grow-and-sustain-reproduci…>. Please feel free to share this e-mail with your networks! More information on the event format A virtual brainstorming event (described in more detail here<https://wellcomeopenresearch.org/articles/6-156> and here<https://osf.io/c5gyz/>) is an asynchronous unconference-style group event where participants use an online chat platform (e.g. Slack, Microsoft Teams) to engage in discussions and share their experiences with others of several days. Participants do not need to be online the whole time - we encourage them to check in a few times per day to catch up with the discussion, expand on ideas, and share their thoughts. Participants can also join live discussion in the virtual open space. The discussions in this event will be used to share lessons learned and brainstorm ways to build, grow, and sustain reproducibility or open science initiatives. We may synthesize the discussion and lessons learned through a paper or by posting materials on the German Reproducibility Network website in the months following the event. Please contact Friederike Kohrs (Friederike-elisabeth.kohrs(a)charite.de<mailto:Friederike-elisabeth.kohrs@charite.de>) if you have any questions or concerns.
