“More often than not, preregistration makes people realize that their thoughtful plans don’t pan out when faced with the cold hard reality of data collection.”

Geez McGeez, you are working with people / natural systems. Reproducibility is dead without academic humility, pre-registration or not.

Academia has a collective action problem.

"Instead, they all hold one another hostage, through a wicked collective action problem that holds back science, starves their institutions of funding, and puts their colleagues at risk of imprisonment."

Glad this was covered by @pluralistic

First, things first: growth in articles published each year has outpaced the scientists doing the publishing. With #PublishOrPerish, we all face an ever-increasing workload (writing, reviewing, editing…). It’s been rough.

Strain itself is neutral: this could be a welcome change! Are we becoming more efficient? Are we combatting biases (academic racism, positive result bias)?

If that’s all it were, the solution to strain would be to build a better infrastructure.

But… well… it’s not. 2/n

The strain on scientific publishing 📄:

The publishing sector has a problem. Scientists are overwhelmed, editors are overworked, special issue invitations are constant, research paper mills, article retractions, journal delistings… JUST WHAT IS GOING ON!?

Myself, pablo, @paolocrosetto and Dan have spent the last few months investigating just that.
