In this episode, we are exploring a student's perspective on open science – and specifically replication studies. Kristoffer Klevjer recently finished his Master’s degree in psychology at UiT The Arctic University of Norway and has now taken on a PhD. But already as a master student, Klevjer was involved in replication studies. In his experience, replication studies can be benefitial to the student, the supervisor, and the scientific community at large. Furthermore, Klevjer argues that replications can be well suited for students at Bachelor level as well. In the interview, Klevjer refers to several publications and projects, including - The Collaborative Replications and Education Project - Kool, W., McGuire, J. T., Rosen, Z. B., & Botvinick, M. M. (2010). Decision making and the avoidance of cognitive demand. Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 139(4), 665–682. https://doi.org/10.1037/a0020198 - Psychological Science Accelerator The replication Klevjer did for his Master's degree can be found here First published online March 9, 2020.

Neurodegenerative diseases are etiologically and clinically heterogeneous conditions, often reflecting a spectrum of disease rather than well-defined disorders. The underlying molecular complexity of these diseases has made the discovery and validation of useful biomarkers challenging. The search of characteristic genetic and transcriptomic indicators for preclinical disease diagnosis, prognosis, or subtyping is an area of ongoing effort and interest. The next generation of biomarker studies holds promise by implementing meaningful longitudinal and multi-modal approaches in large scale biobank and healthcare system scale datasets. This work will only be possible in an open science framework. This review summarizes the current state of genetic and transcriptomic biomarkers in Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, providing a comprehensive landscape of recent literature and future directions.

IntroductionSpin is defined as reporting practices that distort the interpretation of results and create misleading conclusions by suggesting more favourable results. Such unjustifiable and misleading misrepresentation may negatively influence the development of further studies, clinical practice and healthcare policies. Spin manifests in various patterns in different sections of publications (titles, abstracts and main texts). The primary aim of this study is to identify reported spin patterns and assess the prevalence of spin in general, and the prevalence of spin patterns reported in biomedical literature based on previously published systematic reviews and literature reviews on spin.Methods and analysisPubMed, EMBASE and SCOPUS will be searched to identify systematic or literature reviews on spin in biomedicine. To improve the comprehensiveness of the search, the snowballing method will be used to broaden the search. The data on spin-related outcomes and characteristics of the included studies will be extracted. The methodological quality of the included studies will be assessed with selective items of the A MeaSurement Tool to Assess systematic Reviews-2 checklist. A new classification scheme for spin patterns will be developed if the classifications of spin patterns identified in the included studies vary. The prevalence of spin and spin patterns will be pooled based on meta-analyses if the classification schemes for spin are comparable across included studies. Otherwise, the prevalence will be described qualitatively. The seriousness of spin patterns will be assessed based on a Delphi consensus study.Ethics and disseminationThis study has been approved by the Academic Centre for Dentistry Amsterdam Ethics Review Committee (2020250). The study will be submitted to a peer-reviewed scientific journal.RegistrationOpen Science Framework: osf.io/hzv6e

This article presents the scoping review protocol on allowing the sale of tobacco products only in tobacco stores in Brazil. It is based on the hypothesis that limiting the sale of tobacco products only in tobacco shops would significantly prevent initiation and encourage cessation, thus reducing smoking prevalence and passive smoking in Brazil. The protocol aims to document the processes involved in the planning and methodological approach of an extensive scoping review, guided by Joanna Briggs Institute’s manual. The review protocol was prepared following PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR): Checklist and Explanation. It was registered in the Open Science Framework.

AbstractWe introduce the Politics and the Life Sciences special issue on Psychophysiology, Cognition, and Political Differences. This issue represents the second special issue funded by the Association for Politics and the Life Sciences that adheres to the Open Science Framework for registered reports (RR). Here pre-analysis plans (PAPs) are peer-reviewed and given in-principle acceptance (IPA) prior to data being collected and/or analyzed, and are published contingent upon the preregistration of the study being followed as proposed. Bound by a common theme of the importance of incorporating psychophysiological perspectives into the study of politics, broadly defined, the articles in this special issue feature a unique set of research questions and methodologies. In the following, we summarize the findings, discuss the innovations produced by this research, and highlight the importance of open science for the future of political science research.

Schools are particularly suitable contexts for the implementation of interventions focused on adolescent sexual behavior. Sexual education and promotion have a multidisciplinary nature. Nurses’ role and the spectrum of the carried-out interventions is not clear. We aimed to identify interventions that promote a healthy sexuality among school adolescents. Our review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews and was registered in the Open Science Framework. Published articles on sexuality in adolescents in school contexts were considered. The research limitations included primary studies; access in full text in English, Spanish, or Portuguese; and no data publication limitation. Research was carried out on the EBSCOhost, PubMed, SciELO, and Web of Science platforms; gray literature and the bibliographies of selected articles were also searched. A total of 56 studies were included in the sample. The studies used a broad range of research methods, and 10 types of interventions were identified. Multi-interventional programs and socio-emotional interventions showed a greater impact on long-term behavioral changes, and continuity seemed to be a key factor. Long-term studies are needed to reach a consensus on the effectiveness of interventions. Nurses’ particular role on the multidisciplinary teams was found to be a gap in the research, and must be further explored.

The ability to encode regularities from the environment and abstract these patterns into structured cognitive representations is called statistical learning. Currently, one of the most studied paradigms of statistical learning is a word segmentation task originally introduced in a landmark paper by Saffran, Newport, and Aslin (1996). In this paradigm, participants hear a continuous stream of artificial words without acoustic cues to the boundaries separating the words. Then, they are asked to discriminate between words and non-words in the artificial language. One of the barriers that has impeded research progress using this paradigm is the lack of stimulus standardization. This lack of standardization is inefficient, causing researchers to create new stimuli for each new line of experiments. Furthermore, it makes the comparison of methods and results between different experiments difficult, if not impossible. The goal of the current report is to introduce a publically available stimuli set for language (syllable) and music (tone) segmentation experiments of statistical learning. All stimuli, data, and code associated with the current report are available for download on Open Science Framework, and we report here our validation experiments for both sets of stimuli.

O envelhecimento da população faz surgir a necessidade de cuidados especiais com a saúde. O edentulismo, por exemplo, é uma condição bucal que afeta, principalmente, os idosos, sendo comum o uso de próteses dentárias que muitas vezes geram lesões orais. Este protocolo propõe uma revisão de escopo sobre a prevalência de lesões na mucosa oral em decorrência do uso de prótese dentária na população idosa. Desse modo, o objetivo do referido protocolo é apresentar a metodologia que será adotada, de acordo com as recomendações de estruturação do Joanna Briggs Institute para revisões de escopo, sendo este documento previamente registrado no repositório Open Science Framework. A estratégia de busca será elaborada de modo a identificar as possíveis fontes de evidências publicadas nas seguintes bases de dados: Cochrane, PubMed via MEDLINE, LILACS, Web of Science e Scopus. No que se refere à literatura cinzenta, serão feitas buscas através do Google Scholar. Serão utilizados os seguintes descritores do vocabulário controlado Descritores em Ciências da Saúde/Medical Subject Headings: idoso/aged, prótese dentária/dental prosthesis e manifestações bucais/oral manifestations, seus sinônimos e variações ortográficas. A estratégia PCC (População, Conceito, Contexto) servirá de base para elaboração da pergunta de pesquisa e definição dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão. Os resultados da revisão de escopo proposta deverão mostrar os fatores que influenciam a prevalência de lesões em mucosa oral de pessoas idosas que fazem uso de prótese dentária.
