Under the CortexThe Integrity of Psychological Research: Uncovering Statistical Reporting InconsistenciesAccurate reporting in psychological science is vital for ensuring reliable results. Are there statistical inconsistencies in scientific articles?
In this episode, APS's Özge Gürcanlı Fischer Baum speaks with Michele Nuijten from Tilburg University to examine how overlooked errors in statistical reporting can undermine the credibility of research findings. Together, they discuss Nuijten’s research published in Advances in Methods and Practices in Psychological Science and examine practical strategies to enhance the quality of psychological research.

The Black GoatDoes Not ComputeScientific journal articles have a lot of numbers. Scientists are smart people with even smarter computers, so an outsider might think that, if nothing else, you can count on the math checking out. But modern data analysis is complicated, and computational reproducibility is far from guaranteed. In this episode, we discuss a recent set of articles published at the journal Cortex. A group of authors set out to replicate an influential 2010 article that claimed that if you reactivate a fear-laden memory, it becomes possible to change the emotional association - something with clear relevance to clinical practice. Along the...2020-08-131h 01

The Bayes FactorMichèle Nuijten and John SakalukIn this sixth episode Alex interviews two early career psychological researchers, Michèle Nuijten and John Sakaluk. Michèle is an assistant professor in the department of methodology and statistics at Tilburg University, and John is an assistant professor in the department of psychology at the University of Victoria. They discuss their experiences organizing and attending the […]2018-03-2645 minThe Black GoatSIPSapaloozaThe Society for the Improvement of Psychological Science, or SIPS, held its second conference July 30 - August 1, 2017. SIPS is a new organization that works to improve methods and practices in psychology. The conference is unlike a typical academic meeting -- instead of symposia and keyones, the schedule is filled with hackathons, unconferences, and more. In the first part of this episode, we talk about where SIPS came from and what it is all about. Then we present conversations that we recorded with SIPS attendees.

Radical ScienceThe Reinvention of ResearchThis week we chatted to Chris Hartgerink a PhD metascientist (the science of science) and open access advocate, whose core focus is on data fraud. Chris was recently featured in this Guardian piece - he ruffled plenty of feathers when he modified and implemented Statcheck, a tool developed by fellow metascientist Michèle Nuijten that scans tens of thousands of research papers and analyses the credibility of the findings. We talk data fabrication, the unfortunate resistance to skepticism in science, how to separate criticisms of research findings from personal attacks, and how we can reinvent science with what we kno...2017-05-1949 min
Everything Hertz40: Meta-research (with Michèle Nuijten)Dan and James are joined by Michèle Nuijten (Tilburg University) to discuss 'statcheck', an algorithm that automatically scans papers for statistical tests, recomputes p-values, and flags inconsistencies.
They also cover:
How Michèle dealt with statcheck criticisms
Psychological Science’s pilot of statcheck for journal submissions
Detecting data fraud
When should a journal issue a correction?
Future plans for statcheck
The one thing Michèle thinks that everyone else thinks is crazy
Michèle's most worthwhile career investment
The one paper that Michèle thinks everyone should read
