79: Clinical trial reporting (with Henry Drysdale)

We chat with Henry Drysdale (University of Oxford), co-founder of the COMPare trials project, which compared clinical trial registrations with reported outcomes in five top medical journals and qualitatively analysed the responses to critical correspondence. Discussion points and links galore: The history behind the COMPare project The two papers that were published: a prospective cohort study correcting and monitoring 58 misreported trials and a qualitative analysis of researchers’ responses to critical correspondence Ben Goldacre's books What is outcome switching? What were some of the responses to query letters from the authors and journals? Misreporting trials (usually) doesn't lead to patient harm, but it harms the evidence base Where should the buck stop with outcome switching? Would Registered Reports solve this problem?

In this episde, we chat with Lisa DeBruine (University of Glasgow) about her experience with large-scale collaborative science and how her psychology department made the switch from SPSS to R. Discussion points and links galore: Deborah Apthorp's tweet on having to teach SPSS, "because that's what students know" People who are involved with teaching R for psychology at the University of Glasgow: @Eavanmac @dalejbarr @McAleerP @clelandwoods @PatersonHelena @emilynordmann Why the #psyTeachR started teaching R for reproducible science Data wrangling vs. statistical analysis The psyTeachR website Danielle Navarro, and her R text book that you should read Lisa's "faux" package for data simulation Sometimes you can't share data, simulations are a good way around this problem "synthpop" is the name of the package that Dan mentioned that can simulate census data Power analysis can be hard once you go beyond the more conventional statistical tests (e.g., t-tests, ANOVAs etc...)

77: Promiscuous expertise

Dan and James discuss how to deal with the problem of scientists who start talking about topics outside their area of expertise. They also discuss what they would do differently if they would do their PhDs again Here's what they cover... The podcast will now be permanently archived on Open Science Framework James did a talk at the Sound Education conference on podcasting for early career researchers. Here's the video if you want to see him squirm uncomfortably in his chair for 20 minutes and/or hear his thoughts our approach to podcasting The temptation for academics to believe their own press and to have their thoughts reinforced by the praise they get Keeping a handle on what you know and don't know Nassim Nicholas Taleb has FANS The "Pete Evans" effect, James' solution, that we should eat Pete Evans, pesca-pescaterianism, and the spectacularly bad advice that we should stare into the sun You should follow gynecologist Jennifer Gunter on Twitter How much money would you pay for 100,000 engaged twitter followers? Here's the tweet James was referring to Should researchers have something like a Hippocratic Oath? How would we police this? Researchers are not good at admitting they're wrong, do we need to approach retractions differently? Would a bounty system, in which journals offer rewards, for finding errors in their papers, work well?

76: Open peer review

Peer review is typically conducted behind closed doors. There's been a recent push to make open peer review standard, but what's often left out of these conversations are the potential downsides. To illustrate this, Dan and James discuss a recent instance of open peer review that led to considerable online debate. Here's what they cover... How should we navigate the open review of preprints? Gate keepers gonna gate keep, but is this better out in the open? Weaponising openness Some people don't realise that some data can’t be shared Should the reviewers of rejected papers follow them to the next journal? When bad papers that you reject pop up in another journal, unchanged Does the venue and timing of the open peer review matter?

75: Overlay journals (with Daniele Marinazzo)

We’re joined by Daniele Marinazzo (University of Ghent) to chat about the recently launched overlay journal Neurons, Behavior, Data analysis and Theory (NBDT), for which he on the Editorial Board. An overlay journal is organised a set of manuscripts that is published and hosted by a seperate entity (in this case, the Arxiv server), a feature that dramatically reduces publication costs. We discuss the unique overlay model, how this can drive article fees to essentially zero, and what it takes to build a good community journal. Here’s what we cover: Why launch a new neuroscience journal and how is it different from currently established journals? The unique way that editor’s decide which papers to send out for review How does the journal operate when it’s open access and submissions only cost $10? How do you build a journal that your target community will recognise as a ‘good’ journal? The process of submitting a manuscript to NBDT Should journals allow or encourage authors to suggest potential reviewers for their papers? Using Twitter to find reviewers based on who’s ‘liked’ the preprint Is posting a preprint on twitter actually useful? What can neuroscience learn from the field of physics? Authorship attribution How can a journal better champion early career researchers? Links...
