Biography
Associate Professor Alex Holcombe has been active in open science initiatives at PLoS ONE, CurateScience.org, FairOA.org, PsyArXiv.org, as well as involved in the openness article badges (https://osf.io/tvyxz/) adopted by Psychological Science and other journals to reward open practices. Two years ago, he co-founded a new article type, the Registered Replication Report, now at the new APS journal Advances in Methods and Practices in Psychological Science, which welcomes contributions to improve our science.
Abstract:
Reproducibility problems afflict many sciences, including psychology. The problems are to some extent rooted in the criteria for and process of scientific publication. In response, many journals, funders and professional societies have begun incentivising change. I will describe how everyone can participate in the new initiatives in open science and open access that are improving psychological science.
