ReproducibiliTea - Session 8
by LMU Open Science Center News July 14, 2022

July 14, 2022

Hello all, we would like to invite you to the eighth meeting of our Journal Club “ReproducibiliTea” which will take place on the 22nd of July (2:30pm). As announced at the end of the previous session, Maximilian Frank from the Open Science Working Group of the Psychologie-Fachschaften-Konferenz (PsyFaKo; German psychology student representation) will be our guest this time. In his introduction he will present us the topic of this session: "Open Science knowledge and prevalence of QRPs among students - a call to update our curricula ". As the previous session, the meeting is organized as a hybrid-event, so you can choose to attend in person (Room 3322 at Leopoldstraße 13) or to join online (see link below). The paper for this session is only available in German (only abstract is available in English), but it is not necessary to read through it to actively participate in the discussion. In any case, we recommend reading the English version of the position paper of the Open Science Working Group of the PsyFaKo on "Replication Crisis and Open Science in Psychology". It also gives you a first insight into the topic of the meeting. When? Friday, 22nd of July 2022, 2:30pm-4:00pm Where? Room 3322 at Leopoldstraße 13, 80802 Munich or via Zoom: Meeting ID: 917 8852 1090 / Password: Replicate (https://lmu-munich.zoom.us/j/91788521090?pwd=QmJPeEZLcGtYeGlmeGFnazVoUVFzQT…) Paper (German/ Abstract in English): Brachem, J., Frank, M., Kvetnaya, T., Schramm, L. F. F. & Volz, L.(2022). Replikationskrise, p-hacking und Open Science. Eine Umfrage zu fragwürdigen Forschungspraktiken in studentischen Projekten und Impulse für die Lehre. Psychologische Rundschau,73,1–17. https://doi.org/10.1026/0033-3042/a000562 Position Paper (English): Position paper of the Open Science Working Group of the Psychologie-Fachschaften-Konferenz (PsyFaKo) on the topic "Replication Crisis and Open Science in Psychology". https://psyfako.org/wp-content/uploads/31-PsyFaKo-PP-Open-Science-Replikati… Procedure: Maximilian Frank, one of the paper’s and the position paper's authors, will start with a short introduction (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 at least one of the announced papers, 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 papers. For each question, you can think about the suggestions from the papers, but also bring in your own ideas: 1. How prevalent are the different QRPs among students and what are the reasons for these prevalence rates? 2. What further changes are needed in the curricula (of your discipline) in order to meet the demands for transparency and/or address the problems related to the replication crisis (in social sciences) adequately in the education of students? 3. What is the best way to implement changes in curricula on a broad scale? What can and should be done at local level and what role do structural/political changes play? Below, you can find a short abstract for the introductory presentation by our guest: Maximilian Frank (Open Science Working Group of the Psychologie-Fachschaften-Konferenz (PsyFaKo)). As a reminder: After the meeting just announced, the last meeting of this semester will then take place on the 29th of July (2:30pm) via Zoom when Prof. Chris Donkin will held the introductory presentation about "Better theory development as a response to the prevalence of QRPs". Please find the complete and updated semester programme attached. We are looking forward to seeing you soon! Feel free to contact us if you have any questions and/or remarks. Your organisation team Laura Goetz, Stephan Nuding, Leonhard Schramm Open Science knowledge and prevalence of QRPs among students - a call to update our curricula In recent years, there has been an intensive debate within psychology about the conclusions that should be drawn from the replication crisis. The use of questionable research practices (QRPs) was identified as one reason for problems concerning replicability. While there are extensive studies on the prevalence of QRPs among scientists, little is known about their occurrence among students. In his introduction, Maximilian Frank presents the results of the first large-scale survey amongst psychology students conducted by the Open Science Working Group of the PsyFaKo. In this study, 1,397 psychology students in the German-speaking countries were surveyed to investigate the occurrence of QRPs in student projects and to assess the current state of academic teaching regarding the replication crisis and open science practices. Based on these findings we will discuss impulses for the development of teaching and have a look in the related positions papers of the PsyFaKo. The principles of openness, transparency, and collaboration need to play an important role in the academic teaching and are part of a generational change in the academic education of students. About the speaker Maximilian Frank studied psychology at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich and graduated in the interdisciplinary master's program Human Factors in Engineering at the Technical University of Munich. Since 2022 he is a doctoral candidate in the DFG priority program “META-REP” and conducts research on heterogeneity estimations in meta-analyses. As coordinator of the Open Science Working Group of the Psychologie-Fachschaften-Konferenz (PsyFaKo) he is committed to open research practices and their communication in academic teaching.

As we think that the session would be most useful for all of us if Prof. Donkin participates, we have already rescheduled the session to July 29th, 2:30pm. So, please, just keep your ideas and thoughts on the paper if you have already read through it. IMPORTANT: On Friday we will still have a session (hybrid-meeting, as planned) and we are very happy that we found another great guest to join us for this session: Dr. Malika Ihle is the scientific coordinator of the LMU Open Science Center and will introduce us to this session's topic with her presentation at the beginning of the meeting: "Getting active – How can we foster Open Science within our university?" When? Friday, 8th of July 2022, 2:30pm-4:00pm Where? Room 3322 at Leopoldstraße 13, 80802 Munich or via Zoom: Meeting ID: 917 8852 1090 / Password: Replicate (https://lmu-munich.zoom.us/j/91788521090?pwd=QmJPeEZLcGtYeGlmeGFnazVoUVFzQT…) Topic: "Getting active – How can we foster Open Science within our university?" Procedure: Dr. Malika Ihle (LMU Munich) will start with an introduction to the topic (roughly 20-30min). We will then continue with an open discussion in which you can contribute your own thoughts and questions. The session including the open discussion afterwards will focus on general and concrete ideas on how to promote Open Science at a local level. Instead of recommending a paper as the basis for our discussion, we would simply ask you to think about some ideas to the following key questions: 1. What are the most effective measures to enforce open science practices in your field? 2. What role do local Open Science initiatives (e.g. journal clubs) play in promoting Open Science? 3. What opportunities do you personally have to promote Open Science, and which might be most promising? Below, you can find a short abstract for the introductory presentation by Dr. Malika Ihle (LMU Open Science Center). We are looking forward to seeing you soon! Feel free to contact us if you have any questions and/or remarks. Your organisation team Laura Goetz, Stephan Nuding, Leonhard Schramm Getting active – How can we foster Open Science within our university? The Open Science movement was very successful in recent years and has found more and more supporters. However, there is still a lot to be done to achieve the desired goal of transparent research process becoming the norm in science. But what would be the next steps and the most efficient measures to accelerate this cultural change towards Open Science? And how can each individual contribute to achieving this goal? In this presentation, Dr. Malika Ihle will introduce a framework for fostering Open Science within the scientific community. She will discuss the different roles of bottom-up and top-down actions in the cultural change towards openness and transparency in science. Finally, she will talk about some specific ideas on how Open Science can be promoted at local level and what steps each individual could start with to growth their community. About the speaker Dr. Malika Ihle is the Scientific Coordinator of the LMU Open Science Center and supports its scientific board to promote and foster Open Research across all disciplines within the LMU and beyond. Before she joined the LMU, she worked for 2.5 years in a similar position at the University of Oxford where she coordinated Reproducible Research Oxford (RROx).

Invitation: ReproducibiliTea - Session 5
by LMU Open Science Center News June 28, 2022

June 28, 2022

Hello all, we would like to invite you to the sixth meeting of our Journal Club “ReproducibiliTea” which will already take place next Friday. We are very happy to welcome Marlene Altenmüller (LMU Munich) and Dr. Tobias Wingen (University of Bonn) as our guests who will open the session with an introductory talk. When? Friday, 1st 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 1: Wingen, T., Berkessel, J. B., & Englich, B. (2020). No replication, no trust? How low replicability influences trust in psychology. Social Psychological and Personality Science, 11(4), 454-463. https://doi.org/10.1177/1948550619877412 Paper 2: Altenmüller, M. S., Nuding, S., & Gollwitzer, M. (2021). No harm in being self-corrective: Self-criticism and reform intentions increase researchers’ epistemic trustworthiness and credibility in the eyes of the public. Public understanding of science, 30(8), 962-976. https://doi.org/10.1177/09636625211022181 Procedure: Marlene Altenmüller (LMU Munich) and Dr. Tobias Wingen (University of Bonn), both authors of the respective papers, will start with a short talk about the two papers (roughly 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 papers, 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 papers. For each question, you can think about the suggestions from the papers, but also bring in your own ideas: 1. How could researchers restore public trust in social sciences (damaged by the replication crisis)? 2. How should researchers inform a) the public and b) their students about the replication crisis in social sciences? 3. What role do self-criticism and doubt play in communicating one's research a) to the public and b) to students? Below, you can find a short abstract for the introductory talk by our two guests: Marlene Altenmüller (LMU Munich) and Dr. Tobias Wingen (University of Bonn) We are looking forward to seeing you soon! Feel free to contact us if you have any questions and/or remarks. Your organisation team Laura Goetz, Stephan Nuding, Leonhard Schramm Public Trust in Science and the Replication Crisis: Challenges and Opportunities for Science Communication The replication crisis and scientific self-correction are central topics in the current psychological debate. However, less is known about how non-scientists (e.g., the public) react to these controversies. In the first part of this talk, Tobias Wingen will present a series of studies showing that low replicability may damage public trust in psychological science. These studies further show that this damaged trust is difficult to repair. Overall, this line of work suggests that non-scientists react negatively to failed replications. In the second part of the talk, Marlene Altenmüller will present studies that demonstrate no harm of researchers’ self-correction (i.e., self-criticism of prior research and intentions for reforms in future research) on the public’s trust in science. This line of work suggests, that non-scientists favour a critical stance towards science. The presenters look forward to a stimulating discussion, which may focus on similarities and differences of their approaches, implications for science communication and teaching, and future direction. About the speakers Marlene Altenmüller Marlene Altenmüller is a research associate with the social psychology group at LMU Munich. Her work focuses on trust in and within science and, more broadly, science reception (e.g., motivated science reception), as well as art reception (e.g., aesthetic experience and impact) and social justice (e.g., justice sensitivity). Marlene’s doctoral thesis – hot off the press – applies social psychological theories on trust, stereotypes, and self-disclosing communication in the domain of researchers’ science communication and laypeople’s trust in science. Dr. Tobias Wingen The work of Dr. Tobias Wingen focuses on trust in science and science communication, which he often studies from a social-cognitive perspective. A central topic of his work are determinants and consequences of trust in science. For example, his research showed that scientific quality control (such as peer-review or successful replication studies) fosters public trust in science. His work further demonstrated that trust in science, in turn, is a central predictor of various beneficial behaviours, such as protective behaviour during pandemics. Tobias recently completed his doctoral degree at the Social Cognition Center Cologne (University of Cologne) and is now a postdoctoral researcher in the Research Group on Health and Risk Communication at the Institute of General Practice and Family Medicine (University Hospital Bonn).

application call: free 3-day crash course in open science 27.-29. Sept in Planegg-Martinsried
by LMU Open Science Center News June 22, 2022

June 22, 2022

To LMU members only (externals: registration for participation to the hybrid lectures will open in September): Apply now for a free three-day crash course in Open Science<https://tellmi.psy.lmu.de/formr/OpenScienceCrashCourseApplication> 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. Application form: https://tellmi.psy.lmu.de/formr/OpenScienceCrashCourseApplication Contact Please contact the LMU Open Science Center Coordinator, Dr Malika Ihle: malika.ihle(a)lmu.de<mailto:malika.ihle@lmu.de> with any questions.

Sabel (U Magdeburg) and Felix Schönbrodt (LMU Munich) Sponsors: LMU Open Science Center of the LMU Munich and Deutscher Hochschulverband Our trust in the integrity of academic publishing is the very foundation of the advancement of the sciences and medicine. There are many ways scientific misconduct and questionable research practices undermine trust in science, including number nudging, cherry-picking, abstract spin, plagiarism, or pure data fabrication. During the last decade, however, we witnessed an unprecedented and concerning kind of misconduct: Industry-style, semi-automatic production of fake scientific publications by so-called “paper mills”, professional agencies that fake scientific data, figures, tables, and manuscripts including most recently artificial intelligence. While the number of publications with fake science is generally considered to be small, their number has scaled up and reaches concerning levels in some fields (medicine est. 200,000 annually), supporting a billion EURO paper mill business model. It should be considered a systematic criminal attack on the permanent scientific record (Sabel & Seifert 2021). The symposium sheds light on this new phenomenon and provides a discussion forum for the perspectives of researchers, editors, and publishers. 1. “Fake science publications by paper-mills: pollution of the permanent scientific record” Bernhard Sabel (Director, Inst. of Medical Psychology, Univ.

ReproducibiliTea 10.06 at 14:30: 'A Compendium and Simulation of p-Hacking Strategies'
by LMU Open Science Center News June 3, 2022

June 3, 2022

Hello everyone The ReproducibiliTea team would like to invite you to the fifth meeting of our Journal Club. We are very happy to welcome Angelika Stefan (University of Amsterdam) as our guest. Angelika belongs to the Department of Psychological Methods within the Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences of the University of Amsterdam. When? Friday, 10th of June 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: Stefan, A., & Schönbrodt, F. D. (2022, March 16). Big Little Lies: A Compendium and Simulation of p-Hacking Strategies. https://doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/xy2dk Procedure: Angelika Stefan, 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. As the paper for this session is quite long, we would suggest to focus on the introduction (pages 2-10), the intermediate summary (page 31) the evaluation of potential solutions (pages 37-45) and the discussion and conclusions (page 46-48). Additionally, we would recommend to have a look at one example from the twelve simulations (pages 10-31). 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. What do you think: How prevalent are p-hacking-strategies in your field/community (e.g. in student thesis, in published research)? 2. Which potential solutions (described on pages 37-45) do you find the most convincing? 3. Which questions about QRPs do you still have? Which questions do you think are not answered by the scientific community, yet (both empirical questions e.g. specific prevalence rates and theoretical questions)? Below, you can find a short abstract for the introductory presentation by our guest: Angelika Stefan (University of Amsterdam) We are looking forward to seeing you soon! Feel free to contact us if you have any questions and/or remarks. Your organisation team Laura Goetz, Stephan Nuding, Leonhard Schramm -- Big Little Lies: p-hacking and effective countermeasures Angelika Stefan A decade ago, John et al. (2012) found a high prevalence of questionable research practices (QRPs) among psychological researchers. This result was confirmed by many other surveys among researchers in the social sciences. QRPs range from accidental mistakes to clear scientific misconduct and its prevalence undermined the credibility of the social sciences. One of the most prominent QRPs is p-hacking which includes a broad range of different strategies to render non-significant testing results significant. But if QRPs and especially p-hacking are widespread, as previous research suggests: How problematic are the different strategies in fact? How big is the impact of different p-hacking-strategies in detail? And what countermeasures are most effective? In this talk, Angelika Stefan will give a short, general introduction to QRPs. She will discuss p-hacking in more detail and distinguish it from other QRPs. Then, she will show some examples of simulations from this session’s paper that examined the impact of different p-hacking strategies. Based on the simulations’ results, possible countermeasures and solutions will be introduced and discussed. About the presenter: Angelika Stefan is a researcher and doctoral candidate at the University of Amsterdam and belongs to the Department of Psychological Methods within the Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences. She finished her Masters in Economic, Organizational and Social Psychology in 2018 at LMU Munich. Her work focuses on the application of Bayesian Statistics and the general dealing with methodological flexibility in the Social Sciences. She is an expert for Open Science, led many workshops on Open Science-related topics and organizes the ReproducibiliTea at her university in Amsterdam.

Open Data Impact Award 2022: Ausschreibung / call for application
by LMU Open Science Center News May 25, 2022

May 25, 2022

[English below] Mit dem Open Data Impact Award verleiht der Stifterverband einen Preis, um Open Data in der Wissenschaft zu stärken. Open Data besitzt ein großes Innovationspotenzial. Von der Nachnutzung von Forschungsdaten profitieren alle: die Wissenschaft, wenn Datensätze von anderen Forschenden überprüft und weiterentwickelt werden können. Es gewinnt aber auch die Gesellschaft, wenn aus Daten Innovationen entstehen. Doch im Alltag der Wissenschaft wird diese Praxis noch nicht überall gelebt. Zu den Hindernissen zählen unzureichende Ressourcen, bestehende Reputationsmechanismen und fehlendes Wissen. Was der Award bietet: • Eine Fördersumme von insgesamt 30.000 Euro, verteilt auf drei Preisträger • Sichtbarkeit für Preisträger und Thema durch Medien und Öffentlichkeitsarbeit, Porträt der Preisträger:innen durch den Medienpartner DUZ • Vernetzung in der Open Science Community Bewerben können sich: Wissenschaftler:innen (oder Forschergruppen) aller Disziplinen an Hochschulen oder außeruniversitären Forschungsinstitutionen mit einem Sitz in Deutschland, die ihre Forschungsdaten offen gestellt und eine innovative Nachnutzung außerhalb der Wissenschaft ermöglicht haben oder das Potenzial für einen gesellschaftlichen Impact durch Nachnutzung ihrer Daten aufzeigen. Die Bewerbungsfrist für alle Einreichungen ist der 10. Juli 2022. Mehr Informationen zur Ausschreibung und den Link zur Bewerbung unter https://www.stifterverband.org/innosci/open-data-impact-award Wir freuen uns, wenn Sie diese Nachricht an Ihre Netzwerke und Personen weiterleiten, die für den Open Data Impact Awardin Betracht kommen. Sie haben noch Fragen? Gerne an: Anna Held Mail: Anna.Held(a)stifterverband.de<mailto:Anna.Held@stifterverband.de> Telefon: 030 322982-538 Stifterverband – Hauptstadtbüro Berlin Mit herzlichen Grüßen das innOsci Team Dear Sir/Madam With the Open Data Impact Award, the Stifterverband is awarding a prize to strengthen Open Data in science. Open Data has great innovation potential. Everyone benefits from the reuse of research data: science, when data sets can be reviewed and further developed by other researchers. But society also benefits when innovations emerge from data. However, this practice is not yet practiced everywhere in everyday science. Barriers include insufficient resources, existing reputation mechanisms, and lack of knowledge. What the award offers: - A total funding amount of 30,000 euros, distributed among three award winners. - Visibility for award winners and topic through media and public relations, portrait of award winners by media partner DUZ - Networking in the Open Science Community Scientists (or research groups) from all disciplines at universities or non-university research institutions based in Germany who have made their research data open and enabled an innovative reuse outside of science or who demonstrate the potential for a societal impact through reuse of their data are eligible to apply. The deadline for all submissions is July 10, 2022.
