Title: BrOpen Science: Who is Watching the Watchers?
Abstract:
A number of years ago, Psychology went through a “replication crisis” but if truth be known, we should not be surprised for many reasons. Statistically speaking, 5% of publications are Type 1 errors. But, statistically speaking, given Cohen’s recommendation of a minimum Power of 0.5, half of our experiments — if they are true — should fail. Around the same time as the replication crisis occurred, a new movement in science emerged dubbed “Open Science” . But, it has been argued that it should be termed “BrOpen Science” as it perpetuates long standing biases in science. Who is double checking pre-registered studies? This seminar is meant to challenge your beliefs and stimulate conversation.
