Exciting news: @hajoboo.bsky.social will take over as Editor-in-Chief of CCR @computationalcommunication.org from June 7. Hajo is a dream candidate to take over and I have no doubt CCR will continue to flourish under his leadership. Welcome!

@urisohn.bsky.social - liked the post a lot, but does the stata command really is "...,cov(hc3)" or should it read "...,vce(hc3)"?
I've just made live the updated website that accompanies my R book (www.discovr.rocks) - it's mostly finished: almost all of the chapter solutions/task solutions are done, data are live, updated info about the `discovr` package of interactive tutorials, and it's had a face lift.
It's FReD Friday AND #LoveReplicationsWeek, so here is a recap of what has been going on with the FORRT Replication Database. In 2024, we published the paper on our dataset with 99 (!) authors. But this was only the beginning. doi.org/10.5334/jopd.101
Had similar troubles with manuscriptcentral, also with more than one journal, some days ago. After having cleared my cache several times and waited about 5-6 hours, it worked again. May not be the solution you were looking for but at least a signal of hope.

Wow, congrats @alexiakatsanidou.bsky.social and @sofiavasilopoulou.bsky.social - greatly deserved!
Welcome to day 2 of #LoveReplicationsWeek! I'll be posting here about today's talks.
- You can still register for upcoming events: forrt.org/LoveReplicat...
- We try to make all slides publicly available on Zenodo: zenodo.org/communities/...
Kenne U. Malmendier vom Advisory Board des @wzb.bsky.social als kompetente, sachorientierte, nette Kollegin. Dass man so jemanden in der Politikberatung beim @bundeswirtschaftsministerium.de nicht haben möchte, beunruhigt mich-genau wie die jüngsten energie- u klimapolitischen Fehlentscheidungen.
#CallForProposals for the 2nd funding period in the Infrastructure Priority Programme "New Data Spaces for the Social Sciences" (SPP 2431). Objective: Expanding data sources and methods for the social sciences. Interested researchers are invited to a workshop on 8 May 26. Details: sohub.io/2s2g
@lukasbirkenmai1.bsky.social, @astroppe.bsky.social @wurthmann.bsky.social & @msaeltzer.bsky.social use NLP+Wikidata: 50k tweets + 190k FB posts (Bundestag 2017–21). District MPs cite nearer places and deprived in-district areas more than list MPs.

Replication Research (R2), a 🆕 community-led Diamond OA journal, makes replication studies more discoverable, publishable & rigorously evaluated—without subscription barriers or author fees. Ahead of #LoveReplicationsWeek, R2's senior editors shared their vision in our Q&A:
Together, we deployed a new instance of AmCAT (amcat4.labs.vu.nl) for the @medem.bsky.social project in Vienna — strengthening infrastructure for open & reproducible computational content analysis.
MEDem attended the #ESFRIroadmap2026 hearings ✅
This crucial step was only possible thanks to our incredible community. Thank you for the continued trust and strong support! 🙌
But what does this milestone mean, and what comes next?

🗓 Deadline: May 17

📢Publication alert 📢
LLMs are an awesome technology, but they come with trade-offs!
Paul Balluff, @justinho.bsky.social, @seanhp.bsky.social, Alexis Palmer, @lrossi.bsky.social, Irina Shklovski, Chung-hong Chan and I commented on these trade-offs in #commsky research. Out now and open access!
postdocs for enviro/climate people at the @gsos-lse.bsky.social!
Auf @soziopolis.bsky.social ist heute das Dossier zu strategischer Prozessführung erschienen, das ich mit Verena Frick herausgebe. Sechs Autorinnen beleuchten strategische Klagen aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven: www.soziopolis.de/dossier/stra...
🎉🎉🎉 It's publication day for the symposium @adam42smith.bsky.social and I co-edited on teaching qualitative methods in undergraduate political science education! 🎉🎉🎉
Applying for these positions is strongly recommended! Working together with @lisadellmuth.bsky.social really is a pleasure, the project is fascinating, and the location is great.
Very happy to see this paper published. We examine how elites (legislators) and the public evaluate different policies designed to compensate the losers from trade. Using original survey data from legislators and public opinion surveys in 3 countries, we find only a limited elite–public gap.
Kathrin Ackermann u ich kandidieren für den RatSWD u freuen uns über die Unterstützung der Politikwissenschaft (u darüber hinaus :) ). Bis Montag (16.2.) können sich alle Promovierten registrieren, um dann an der Wahl im März teilnehmen zu können.
