The prevalence of direct replication articles in top-ranking psychology journals.

Despite lip service about replication being a cornerstone of science, replications have historically received little real estate in the published literature. Following psychology's recent replication crisis, we assessed the prevalence of one type of replication contribution: direct replication articles-articles where a direct or close replication of a previously published study is one of the main contributions of the article. This prevalence provides one indicator of how much the field values and incentivizes this type of self-correction.

An empirical appraisal of eLife's assessment vocabulary.

Research articles published by the journal eLife are accompanied by short evaluation statements that use phrases from a prescribed vocabulary to evaluate research on 2 dimensions: importance and strength of support. Intuitively, the prescribed phrases appear to be highly synonymous (e.g.

Reckoning With Our Crisis: An Agenda for the Field of Social and Personality Psychology.

The replication crisis and credibility revolution in the 2010s brought a wave of doubts about the credibility of social and personality psychology. We argue that as a field, we must reckon with the concerns brought to light during this critical decade. How the field responds to this crisis will reveal our commitment to self-correction.

The crisis from above: Gatekeepers need better standards.

Improvements to the validity of psychological science depend upon more than the actions of individual researchers. Editors, journals, and publishers wield considerable power in shaping the incentives that have ushered in the generalizability crisis. These gatekeepers must raise their standards to ensure authors' claims are supported by evidence.

Initial evidence of research quality of registered reports compared with the standard publishing model.

In registered reports (RRs), initial peer review and in-principle acceptance occur before knowing the research outcomes. This combats publication bias and distinguishes planned from unplanned research. How RRs could improve the credibility of research findings is straightforward, but there is little empirical evidence.
