184: A race to the bottom
Open access articles have democratized the availability of scientific research, but are author-paid publication fees undermining the quality of science?
The preprint by Morgan and Smaldino - https://osf.io/preprints/osf/3ez9v
Paul Smaldino's text book - Modeling social behavior (https://press.princeton.edu/books/paperback/9780691224145/modeling-social-behavior)
Main edisode takeaways (AI-assisted summary)
There is a wide variability in the quality of papers published in gold open access journals and a wide variate of open access journals, some of which prioritise quality research
Diamond open access and green open access are alternative models to consider.
The publishing industry needs more transparency and mandatory reporting of data. The pressure to publish more can lead to a crowding out problem and a focus on quantity over quality.
Determining the quality of journals and papers is challenging, and there are varying levels of quality within different tiers of journals.
Fraudulent publishing practices, such as paper mills and fake papers, can be facilitated by the market for publishing.
The Publons service (R.I.P) and similar platforms can improve the transparency of peer review and provide a record of reviewers' contributions.
Society journals may offer a better publishing model as they have a reputation to maintain and are less likely to prioritize quantity over quality.

183: Too beautiful to be true
Dan and James discuss a paper describing a journal editor's efforts to receive data from authors who submitted papers with results that seemed a little too beautiful to be true
Main edisode takeaways (AI generated summary)
* This editorial on the reproducibility crisis emphasizes the importance of providing raw data in scientific publications and highlights the need for transparency and accountability in the research process
* The lack of oversight and the discrepancy between the amount of data required for scientific statements and what is often provided in academic publishing is a cause for concern.
* Ensuring the integrity of scientific research requires the active involvement of editors, reviewers, and researchers in promoting transparency and upholding ethical standards. The scientific publishing process lacks oversight and accountability, leading to potential issues with the accuracy and trustworthiness of published papers.
* Journals should prioritize maintaining high standards and ensuring that papers are thoroughly reviewed and validated before publication.
* Changing behaviors within the scientific community, such as pledging to publish in open access journals, can promote positive change and improve research integrity.
* There is a need for active maintenance and improvement of the systems and parameters of scientific research to prevent potential negative consequences.

182: What practices should the behavioural sciences borrow (and ignore) from other research fields?
Dan and James answer a listener question on what practices should the behavioural sciences borrow (and ignore) from other research fields.
Here are the main takeaways:
Keeping laboratory records and using electronic lab management software is beneficial practices biology that would benefit the behavioral sciences
The rate of pre-registration of meta-analysis in psychology is low, unlike other fields, which have a higher pre-registration rate. Here is the preprint on pre-registration of psychology meta-analyses that was mentioned: https://doi.org/10.31222/osf.io/627a4
Case studies (somewhat common in medicine) can provide valuable insights, especially when there is aggressive sampling and oversampling of single points
Double-blinded should not be adopted. as these can be challenging to implement effectively and may not always work as intended
Philosophers often (but not always) have a clear writing style and structure their arguments well, which can be enjoyable to read and should be more widely adopted
The publishing industry needs more innovation, particularly in the areas of peer review and editorial processes

177: Plagiarism
We discuss two recent plagiarism cases, one you've probably heard about and another that you probably haven't heard about if you're outside Norway. We also chat about the parallels between plagiarism and sports doping—would people reconsider academic dishonesty if they were reminded that future technology may catch them out?
Here are some of the takeaways from the episode (generated with the help of AI):
Plagiarism cases can range from minor academic practice issues to more serious instances of copying verbatim
The detection and punishment of plagiarism can vary depending on the context, such as academic journals or internal university issues.
The mindset and motivations behind plagiarism can differ between athletes and students, with athletes often driven by intense competition.
Long-term detectability and the potential consequences of cheating are factors that may discourage individuals from engaging in plagiarism.
Addressing plagiarism requires a balance between identifying genuine cases and avoiding ideological biases.

146: Skills pay bills
We answer a series of questions from a listener on whether to start a PhD, what to ask potential supervisors, the financial perils of being a PhD student, the future of higher education, the importance of skills, what keeps us going, and more.
Here are the specific questions that we answered in this episode (the background to these questions is shared in the episode):
Would you have any advice on how I can even decide whether to commence a PhD?
Are there any questions in particular that you think are important to ask prospective supervisors?
How do people make PhDs work financially? You are supposed to treat the degree like a regular 40 hour/ week job (and students commonly fail to do so). However, what full-time job pays ~$540 per week and expects this?! You are not supposed to work > 8 hours/ week outside of this?! I thought I could at least work 2-3 full days a week if I needed to.
Why do people generally leave academia, or not continue, after their PhD, despite obvious potential?
In what form do you think universities will be around in 5 and 10 years?
Are one-year progress reports from the PhD committee enough to stay on track?
What utility do PhDs hold inside and outside of academia? Apparently, skills matter more than a topic, and you have a better chance of getting a postdoc etc... if you have worked on a hot topic with a well-known supervisor.
How can one start the PhD prepared enough to finish it on time and earlier?
I am wondering what keeps academics going. I may be jaded, but lab environments don’t seem collaborative, and academics seem to be ruled by the admin people and hedge fund managers (or whoever). They also seem to make their money off students (i.e., the customer). I see a reverence for science and people trying to game the system, but not people wanting to seek truth in science. I now wonder how much of academia is motivated by pride, comfort, and not knowing what else to do. In my mind (and I am exaggerating a little), the PhD journey is coming to resemble an abusive relationship between the student and the uni, facilitated by the supervisor who hopefully gets something out of it. I assume it only gets worse from here.
I have been told that the PhD is the only program that offers solid research training and the ability to do your original research (something an industry job does not offer). Even if I accept those premises, I now wonder what it is all for.
Where do you both see yourselves in 5 and 10 years?
What keeps you both going?

137: Ten rules for improving academic work-life balance
Dan and James share their thoughts on a recent paper (https://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/journal.pcbi.1009124) that proposes ten rules for improving academic work-life balance for early career researchers and the figure from this paper that became a meme.
Here are the rules:
Long hours do not equal productive hours
Examine your options for flexible work practices
Set boundaries to establish your workplace and time
Commit to strategies that increase your efficiency and productivity
Have a long-term strategy to help with prioritization, and review it regularly
Make your health a priority
Regularly interact with family and friends
Make time for volunteer work or similar commitments that are important and meaningful to you
Seek out or help create peer and institutional support systems
Open a dialogue about the importance of work–life balance and advocate for systemic change
Dan mentioned an app he sometimes uses to track his time, called Timery (https://timeryapp.com/).

136: Who peer-reviews the peer-reviewed journals?
We discuss Journal Reviewer (journalreviewer.org), which is a website that provides a forum for researchers to share and rate their experiences with journal's peer review processes. We also cover how some journals negotiate the way in which their impact factors are calculated.

Some journals use nominal manuscript submission fees to discourage frivolous submissions. However, it has been suggested that increasing submission fees could reduce article processing charges. Dan and James discuss this proposal, along with the recently released code of conduct for scientific integrity from the Swiss Academies of Arts and Sciences.

Quiz: Norwegian metal band or Norwegian town?
Things are slowly getting back to normal in some (but not alI) countries. So what academic practices and routines should we keep from the pandemic and what should we kiss goodbye?
Would it be possible to be physically located at your local university but to be employed/educated at another university?
Video abstracts are now an option is some journals, here's an example (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jpcu.13015)

131: Long live the overhead projector!
Dan and James answer listener audio questions on indirect costs for research grants, the mind/body problem, and why many academics aren't trained to teach. They also profess their love for the overhead projector
Some more details:
* Should we require universities to justify overhead costs, like heating and electricity?
* Overheads can inflate the costs of grants, some grants provide an additional percentage for overheads but others don’t allow this, which can eat into grants
* Get to know the people in your local grant office!
* Indirect costs at MIT (https://ras.mit.edu/facilities-and-administrative-fa-rates)
* A primer (https://web.mit.edu/fnl/volume/295/zuber.html) on indirect costs and why they are important to MIT
* Does it matter that we address the mind body problem in psychology?
* On the teaching of the history and philosophy of science (or lack thereof) in psychology courses
* Why aren’t academics better equipped to teach?

Dan and James chat with Dorothy Bishop (University of Oxford) about the importance of normalizing the retraction of scientific papers, publication ethics, and whether paper mills (companies that make fake papers at scale) are an issue in the psychological sciences

Our episode (https://everythinghertz.com/74) with Elisabeth Bik
Image manipulation in scientific papers
Why don't publishers have agreements with authors that if they discover something dodgy in papers the author can't sue them?
Retraction notices don't easily discriminate between fraud and mistakes, and this is one reason why that authors are so reluctant to have their work retracted

128: How do you generate new research ideas?
Dan and James chat about how they come up with new ideas, why everyone seems to be trying to monetise their hobbies, and why it's so hard for most labs to have a singular focus of research.

125: Upon reasonable request
Dan has a blue-sky proposal to increase data sharing—that funders mandate scholars to store and analyse data on their servers for which the funder decides what constitutes a reasonable data request (among other benefits)
Other stuff covered:
We return with part 2 of "overrated/underrated/appropately rated", in which James throws nouns at Dan and he responds with whether these things are overrated, underrated, or appropately rated.
Joe Hilgard's blog post (http://crystalprisonzone.blogspot.com/2021/01/i-tried-to-report-scientific-misconduct.html)
Dan' proposal that funders should require all funded researchers to store and perform their analysis on a central server, which would make it easier to share data, and then the funder could decide what "upon reasonable request" means, not the reseacher or the instution
Long term vs. short term reform efforts

124: From Ptolemy to Takeshi's Castle
We discuss under which circumstances retracting decades-old articles is worth the time. We also chat about why LinkenIn is underrated (yes, really) and special journal issues are overrated.
A more specific list of topics and links:
We play a game of "overated/underated", in which Dan has a list of stuff that he asks James whether these things are overrated or underated (or appropiated rated)
Why LinkedIn is underated
Graphical abstracts are underrated
Online conferences are underrated
Authors should have the chance to wildly speculate (as long as it's marked as wild speculation)
Sourdough bread is so gorgeous that even hipsters can't ruin it
Special journal themes are overrated
Should we bother putting the energy into retracting old studies?

123: Authenticated anonymity (with Michael Eisen)
Part two of our chat with Michael Eisen (eLife Editor-in-Cheif), in which we discuss the pros and cons of collaborative peer review, journal submission interfaces, Michael's take on James' proposal that peer reviewers should be paid $450 dollars, why negative comments on peer reviews need to be normalised, plus much more.
Some more details:
- The pros and cons of collaborative peer review (in which all peer reviewers discuss the paper after all individual peer reviews have been submitted
- How technology can constrain journal operations
- The strange engineered delay in paper reviews (I doesn't take 2-3 weeks to review a paper)
- Michael's proposal for a system in which people can nominate they have time in the near future to review a paper and then papers can be sent to them so they're rapidly reviewed
- Journal submission interfaces
- Michael's take on paying peer reviewers
- Who owns peer reviews?
- Would negative (anonomous or not) comments on an open peer review report penalise authors in the future?
- Every paper gets negative peer-review comments, this doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad paper
- Michael proposes an explicit "speculation" section for papers, where authors get free reign to basically say whatever they want

122: Reoptimizing scientific publishing for the internet age (with Michael Eisen)
The internet should have transformed science publishing, but it didn't. We chat with Michael Eisen (Editor-in-Chief of eLife (https://elifesciences.org/)) about reoptimizing scientific publishing and peer review for the internet age.
Here what we cover and some links:
How Michael co-founded PLOS (https://plos.org/)
The book Dan mentioned on the history of the scientific journal (https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/S/bo28179042.html)
Why did eLife launch? What did it offer that other journals didn't?
Nature's recently proposed $11k article processing fee proposal
eLife's new "author-driven publishing" approach (https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.64910), in which all submitted papers have to be posted as preprints
Part two of our conversation will be released on January 4, 2021

115: A modest proposal
We discuss James' recent proposal that scientists should be paid for performing peer review for journals published by for-profit companies—$450, to be precise. Dan also puts forward three meta-science projects that he thinks are worth funding.
More details
* James' tweet (https://twitter.com/jamesheathers/status/1301533455520608256?s=20) proposing peer review should be compensated
* Since recording this episode, James has set up the @450Movement twitter account (https://twitter.com/450movement)
* Also see James' blog post (https://medium.com/@jamesheathers/the-450-movement-1f86132a29bd)
* The Collabra Psychology (https://www.collabra.org/) journal
* Did the folks that co-authored the "redefine statistical sigificance (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-017-0189-z)" paper actually go on to follow their own recommendations?
* Would high financial compensation of people on job search panels lead to better quality hires?
* A tool that would automatically scrape the email addresses the of authors of papers you cite would make life easier for asking for feedback and providing review recommendations.
* I'm curious as to whether people are reading the show notes. If you are reading this and want a Hertz mug, the first person to send @hertzpodcast (https://twitter.com/hertzpodcast) a tweet saying they read the show notes will get a free mug

96: The chaotic state of doctoral research
Dan and James discuss the results of this year's Nature survey of PhD students. Despite a majority of students reporting general satisfaction with their decision to undertake a PhD, many described a sense of uncertainty, harassment in the lab, and gruelling work hours.
Things they discuss...
James met an Australian member of parliament (https://twitter.com/deborahapthorp/status/1192343606985555968?s=20) and won a commendation (https://twitter.com/senseaboutsci/status/1195284321617293313?s=20) from Sense under Science

Bloat in academia
What people like the most about being a PhD student
Are we just not hearing that much from people who are having a good time?
Financial pressure in PhDs
Harassment and discrimination in PhD programs

92: Chaos in the brickyard
Dan and James discuss the role of Google Scholar in citation patterns and whether we should limit academics to only publishing two papers a year.
Links and details:
James has a new Hertz-quarters
The Metascience conference (https://www.metascience2019.org)
How is google scholar influencing citation patterns
A slide from @Jevinwest's presentation (https://twitter.com/gmusser/status/1170466414345375746?s=20) on Google Scholars
Is this a symptom of lazy citaton practices rather than the algorithm?
What are the alternatives to google scholar?
Should google open up the algorithm?
GS will find your preprint and link it to the paywall link
Why is Google Scholar free?
What would make GS better?
Using the Zotero plugin for to collected citation info in bulk from search results in GS
Top recommended articles in GS are phenomenal
GS is not great for meta-analysis
GS reduces friction
Should we limit academics to only publishing two papers a year (https://twitter.com/joseph_fridman/status/1170447576505520128?s=20), as suggested by former guest, Dorothy Bishop?
Who would stand to lose from this?

Ego and prestige got us into the mess we’re trying to fix with open science, but how can we stop this from happening again?
Thanks to Robin Kok (https://twitter.com/robinnkok) for the question, listen to our episode with him on e-health (https://everythinghertz.com/34)!
Did all the people who co-authored the paper to change statistical significance the default p-value threshold to .005 (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-017-0189-z) actually do this in subsequent papers?

79: Clinical trial reporting (with Henry Drysdale)
We chat with Henry Drysdale (University of Oxford), co-founder of the COMPare trials project (http://compare-trials.org), 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 (https://trialsjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13063-019-3173-2) correcting and monitoring 58 misreported trials and a qualitative analysis (https://trialsjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13063-019-3172-3) of researchers’ responses to critical correspondence
Ben Goldacre's books (https://www.amazon.co.uk/l/B002C1VRBQ?_encoding=UTF8&redirectedFromKindleDbs=true&rfkd=1&shoppingPortalEnabled=true)
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?
The CONSORT guidelines (http://www.consort-statement.org)
Have the journals changed their practices?

78: Large-scale collaborative science (with Lisa DeBruine)
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 (https://twitter.com/deborahapthorp/status/1092599860212068352), "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 (https://psyteachr.github.io)
Danielle Navarro (https://djnavarro.net), and her R text book (https://learningstatisticswithr.com) that you should read
Lisa's "faux" package (https://github.com/debruine/faux) for data simulation
Sometimes you can't share data, simulations are a good way around this problem
"synthpop" is the name of the package (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/synthpop/vignettes/synthpop.pdf) 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...)
Lisa's OSF page (https://osf.io/4i578/)
Dirty code is always better than no code (but the cleaner the better)
Live coding is terrifying but a useful teaching tool. Here's Dan live coding how to build a website in R (https://twitter.com/dsquintana/status/1070392412445401088), typos and all

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 (https://osf.io/zj7y3/)
James did a talk at the Sound Education conference on podcasting for early career researchers. Here's the video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26t6660_f-A) 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 (https://twitter.com/nntaleb) has FANS
The "Pete Evans" effect, James' solution, that we should eat Pete Evans (https://medium.com/@jamesheathers/i-think-i-have-a-solution-i-m-going-to-eat-pete-evans-7e2da6f3967f), pesca-pescaterianism (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IC-ZBJ-Kw2E), and the spectacularly bad advice that we should stare into the sun (https://www.sciencealert.com/please-don-t-stare-at-the-sun-even-if-pete-evans-says-it-s-good-for-you)
You should follow gynecologist Jennifer Gunter on Twitter (https://twitter.com/DrJenGunter)
How much money would you pay for 100,000 engaged twitter followers? Here's the tweet (https://twitter.com/ImHardcory/status/1090213113352372224) James was referring to
Should researchers have something like a Hippocratic Oath (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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?
The "Loss of confidence (https://lossofconfidence.com)" project, and Rebecca Willen's CV (https://rmwillen.info/publications/)

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?
Signing your reviews
Using publons to track your reviews

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?

70: Doubling-blinding dog balls
Dan and James discuss the recent "grievance studies" hoax, whereby three people spent a year writing twenty-one fake manuscripts for submission to various cultural studies journals. They also discuss a new proposal to shift publication culture in which researchers pledge to publish exclusively in community-run journals but only when a pre-specified threshold of support for this commitment by the research community has been met.
Here's an overview of the episode:
- It’s fat bear week!
- The new proposal to fix the stranglehold of commercial publishers in academia
- Flipping journals to open access
- The ‘grievance studies’ hoax

55: The proposal to redefine clinical trials
In this episode, Dan and James discuss the US National Institutes of Health's new definition of a “clinical trial”, which comes into effect on the 25th of January.
Here’s the new definition: “A research study in which one or more human subjects are prospectively assigned to one or more interventions (which may include placebo or other control) to evaluate the effects of those interventions on health-related biomedical or behavioural outcomes”.
Over the course of this episode, they cover the pros and cons of this decision along with the implications for researchers and science in general.
Here are a few things they cover:
The traditional definition of a clinical trial
We go through James’ old work to determine if he’s been a clinical trialist all along
The lack of clarity surrounding the new definition
Why are adopting a clinical trial approach when this approach has obvious weaknesses?
What do you actually have to do when running a clinical trial?
Will institutions also adopt this new definition, thus putting basic research through clinical trial IRBs?
What if this extra red tape actually improves science?
One argument against the proposal is that registering more studies on clinicaltrials.gov will confuse the public. We don’t buy that.
Clinical trial registrations generally miss the many nuances of study design
The new clinical trial definition will eliminate some of the ‘forking paths’ when analysing and reporting data
How this new definition will affect grant applications for early career researchers?
What happens to exploratory research?

54: Cuckoo Science
In this episode, James sits in the guest chair as Dan interviews him on his recent work find and exposing inconsistent results in the scientific literature.
Stuff they cover:

How James would do things differently, if he were start over again?
Separating nefarious motives from sloppiness
The indirect victims of sloppy science
Grants that fund sloppy science take resources from responsible science projects

26: Interpreting effect sizes
When interpreting the magnitude of group differences using effect sizes, researchers often rely on Cohen's guidelines for small, medium, and large effects. However, Cohen originally proposed these guidelines as a fall back when the distribution of effect sizes was unknown. Despite the hundreds of available studies comparing heart rate variability (HRV), Cohen's guidelines are still used for interpretation. In this episode, Dan discusses his recent preprint describing an effect size distribution analysis on HRV studies.
Some of the topics discussed:
A summary of Dan's preprint
What is an effect size?
What can an effect size distribution tell us?
How effect sizes can inform study planning

4: Meta-analysis or mega-silliness?
Meta-analysis has become an increasingly popular tool used by many scientists to synthesise data. However, it's not without its detractors — from H. J. Eysenck, Ph.D., calling it "an exercise in mega-silliness" in 1978, to J. A. J. Heathers Ph.D., describing its use as a "profound moral failing" (he's half-serious) in 2016.
In this episode, Dan defends meta-analysis against more recent criticisms put forward by James and offers suggestions on how meta-analysis can be improved.
