Predicting the replicability of social and behavioural science claims in COVID-19 preprints.

Replications are important for assessing the reliability of published findings. However, they are costly, and it is infeasible to replicate everything. Accurate, fast, lower-cost alternatives such as eliciting predictions could accelerate assessment for rapid policy implementation in a crisis and help guide a more efficient allocation of scarce replication resources.

Ear Reconstruction following Mohs Micrographic Surgery.

Relative to other regions of the body, the ear has a high risk of developing cutaneous malignancies that often necessitate Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) for removal. This procedure can create defects that are immediately noticeable if left untreated. Reconstructive techniques are often needed to restore the appearance of the affected ear and its symmetrical relationship to the contralateral ear.

Visualizemi: Visualization, Effect Size, and Replication of Measurement Invariance for Registered Reports.

Latent variable modeling as a lens for psychometric theory is a popular tool for social scientists to examine measurement of constructs. Journals, such as regularly publish articles supporting measures of latent constructs wherein a measurement model is established. Confirmatory factor analysis can be used to investigate the replicability and generalizability of the measurement model in new samples, while multigroup confirmatory factor analysis is used to examine the measurement model across groups within samples.
