Reproducibility and Open Science - Dr Fiona Fidler, Dr Hannah Fraser, Dr Mathew Ling

SSA VIC Branch Meeting Speakers: 1. Hannah Fraser – Reproducibility and Questionable Research Practices Psychology, economics and some areas of medicine are in crisis due to the low reproducibility of their research findings. In psychology, researchers find contradictory results around half of the time when they redo studies. In ecology, it is more difficult and expensive to redo studies and we expect far more variation in results due to environmental stochasticity, so we are unsure of how reproducible results are. However, in other fields low reproducibility has been attributed to a number of practices that increase the chances of finding a significant result where no relationship exists. Hannah will discuss her work on Questionable Research Practices and describe a new large-scale project investigating the extent to which different (but still correct) analysis techniques are associated with differences in results and conclusions. 2. Fiona Fidler – What are solutions to the replication crisis fixing? Pre-registration and Registered Reports are related proposals to help mitigate publication bias, and the problems (inflated false positive rates and effect sizes) that stem from it. There is mounting evidence that they are successful in important ways. There are also important questions about their scope, and what, if anything, might be more appropriate for research outside the Hypothetico-Deductive model that they presuppose. In this talk, I will briefly outline current issues in this area. 3. Mathew Ling – Open and Reproducible research as Health Behaviours. Open and reproducible research practices are non-default behaviours, but engagement in these behaviours can lead to improved outcomes for both the individuals that engage in them, and the broader community. In this way, engagement in reproducible research practices is comparable to behaviours like vaccination, and the models implemented there might provide insights into improving the robustness of modern research as practiced. This presentation will examine this comparison and discuss how reproducible research practices can be normalised. Link to the Vimeo video: https://vimeo.com/334547497
