Posting on behalf of my colleagues on the editorial board of JEP:HPP.

Call for Papers: Perspectives on Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance

Important dates:
Letter of intent submission deadline: June 15, 2024

Invited manuscript submission deadline: Sept 15, 2024

Editor:
Jelena Ristic

Background:
In 2025, the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance will celebrate its 50th birthday. This is a momentous occasion for the journal which continues to serve as a pillar of the field of experimental psychology and cognitive psychology/neuroscience. Indeed, some of the most important and pioneering findings have been published in JEP: HPP and have in many ways shaped how we think about cognition today.

To mark this occasion, in addition to invited updated reviews on several of the most cited JEP:HPP papers and perspectives of the editors, we are also inviting you, the readers, to send us your perspectives on JEP: HPP.

Details:
We are interested in receiving proposals for 1,000-word Perspective articles from JEP: HPP readers (who may also be authors) on the topic(s) of how an article, a series of articles, or general ideas published in JEP: HPPhave shaped/changed/influenced their research or academic development. We are also interested in receiving proposals on topics other than these, for instance concerning the various roles JEP: HPP can play for the next 50 years.

We aim to start publishing the Perspectives quarterly in 2025.

If you are interested in contributing a Perspective, let us know by June 15, 2024, by writing to the Associate Editor Jelena Ristic at jelena.ristic@mcgill.ca (with “Perspective proposal” in the subject line). Please include the proposed topic and a brief outline for your proposed article.

@cwts colleague Wolfgang Kaltenbrunner just published paper about peer review in psychology https://doi.org/10.31235/osf.io/wfs9v.

The paper presents fascinating analysis of peer review practices in terms of tension between gift-giving and accumulation. Analysis is based on case studies of three publishing outlets: #PsychologicalScience, #Collabra and @PeerCommunityIn #RegisteredReports.

Recommended reading if you're interested in #OpenScience, #OpenData, #OpenPeerReview, #Preprinting or #RegisteredReports!

It was an honor to have been named Fellow of the Southwestern Psychological Association at this year’s annual conference. Another highlight was my research undergraduates winning an award for their project involving decision making (chocolate cake v fruit) under different cognitive loads (long v short number recall) while wearing fNIRS instrumentation. #Academia #AcademicChatter #PsychologicalScience

There is a call to nominate @siminevazire and @chrisdc77 as new editors for #psychologicalscience .

I was ambivalent about this proposal - I think the best researchers in the field should redirect their efforts to open publishing infrastructures, such as @pcirr (noteably, as both already do).

The old question of reform vs. revolution. Along with the EU council, I am now clearly on the "revolution" side. Maybe too much exposure to @brembs.

It is way harder to predict human behavior than the behavior of a cell in a petri dish.

Does anyone know of any good workshops/training for "human-centered design" or "human-centered research", preferably one that can be shared among a team and/or online?

#PsychologicalScience (the journal) after the replication crisis.
A z-curve analysis
https://replicationindex.com/2022/10/20/princeton-talk-about-z-curve/
The % of significant (p < .05, z > 2) results has not changed much (ODR = 75% vs. 71). However, the actual power to get these results has increased a lot (EDR = 21% vs. 68%). As a result, the false discovery risk has decreased from 20% to 2%.
Look out for the 2023 replicability rankings coming soon.
