Impact of alexithymia, speech problems and parental emotion recognition on internalizing and externalizing problems in preschoolers.

Background: Alexithymia, characterized by difficulty identifying and describing emotions and an externally oriented thinking style, is a personality trait linked to various mental health issues. Despite its recognized importance, research on alexithymia in early childhood is sparse. This study addresses this gap by investigating alexithymia in preschool-aged children and its correlation with psychopathology, along with parental alexithymia.

The societal impact of Open Science: a scoping review.

Open Science (OS) aims, in part, to drive greater societal impact of academic research. Government, funder and institutional policies state that it should further democratize research and increase learning and awareness, evidence-based policy-making, the relevance of research to society's problems, and public trust in research. Yet, measuring the societal impact of OS has proven challenging and synthesized evidence of it is lacking.

Scoping review and evidence mapping of interventions aimed at improving reproducible and replicable science: Protocol.

Background: Many interventions, especially those linked to open science, have been proposed to improve reproducibility in science. To what extent these propositions are based on scientific evidence from empirical evaluations is not clear.

Aims: The primary objective is to identify Open Science interventions that have been formally investigated regarding their influence on reproducibility and replicability.
