ISLE Online Forum 2025 Teaching with Impact: Linguistics in the Classroom Wednesday, 12 November 2025 | 6:00 PM CET (Berlin) Featured Presentations: Julia Schlüter (University of Bamberg) Introducing KorPLUS KorPLUS is an open, interactive learning package designed to build corpus and AI literacy among non-native English-speaking language professionals. Through hands-on activities and real-world data, it empowers learners to engage critically with language data and emerging technologies. Katharina Deckert (University of Bamberg) Core Collaborator on KorPLUS Joining Julia to discuss the development and implementation of the project. Elen Le Foll (University of Cologne) Presenting: Data Analysis for the Language Sciences This open textbook, recognized with an Honourable Mention, offers an accessible and inclusive introduction to statistics and data visualization in R for students and researchers in the language sciences. Designed for diverse learners, it supports both standalone study and integration into blended learning environments. How can open educational resources make corpus linguistics more accessible? What role does data literacy play in empowering language professionals? How can digital tools support inclusive and innovative teaching in English linguistics?

At the FORRT Replication Hub, our mission is to support researchers who want to replicate previous findings. We have now published a big new component with which we want to fulfill this mission: An open access handbook for reproduction and replication studies: forrt.org/replication_...
For those interested, here's our full preprint on the call for more transparent pilot study reporting: osf.io/preprints/ps...

As part of the Pilot Reporting Task Force, founded at @improvingpsych.org conference 2023, I would like to share a preprint with you: osf.io/preprints/ps.... We are looking for feedback on our perspective piece, promoting more transparency in the reporting of piloting in psychological science. 1/4
We are creating an academic journal and *you* can shape it!

There is much enthusiasm, in principle, for adversarial collaborations (ACs), a scientific conflict resolution technique that encourages investigators with clashing models to collaborate in designing studies that test competing predictions. Adversarial collaborations offer the promise of breaking deadlocked debates, resolving disputes, and providing a deeper, more comprehensive understanding of a research domain. In practice, however, adversarial collaborations are more the exception than the rule, and there is almost no evidence on how scholars who have ventured into ACs assess the experience. To understand these perspectives, we surveyed and interviewed 29 scholars who participated in 13 AC projects. The data revealed that interpersonal conflicts were generally minor, that these projects required more upfront effort than typical collaborations, but benefited from high-quality results and more thoughtful post-publication debates. Rather than producing a clear “winner,” the most common outcome was a deeper understanding of the problem space through the integration of opposing perspectives. Although the generalizability of these findings is limited by a sample consisting only of scholars who completed an AC, they nonetheless highlight the value of ACs as a tool for advancing scientific inquiry and offer practical guidance for scholars and journals exploring this approach.
29 scholars reflect on their participation in adversarial collaborations:
“Rather than producing a clear 'winner,' the most common outcome was a deeper understanding of the problem space through the integration of opposing perspectives”

#MetaSci #Methodology 🧪
Are you an early-career researcher (or someone hoping to help ECRs) working in #openscience or #metascience? The @reproducibilitea.org podcast is looking for guests for our next season of episodes! We'd love to feature ECR voices foremost – the next generation of scientists should be heard the most!
🖇Today, we look at a paper whose "authors examine reproducibility and replicability in qualitative research". According to the assessment, "both reviewers found the article to be technically sound, interesting, and of likely value to the field."
👇 Read the assessment, reviews & full text on MetaROR
"Science is not, and has never been, a neutral endeavour... the notion that researchers can or should cleanse themselves of bias is untenable, potentially intellectually dishonest, and ethically fraught."

Are we doing #OpenScience just because everybody else is doing Open Science? Is it going to help us solve our local problems? How can metascience help? - thought-provoking questions from Emmanuel Boakye presenting African Reproducibility Network at #Metascience2025
How transparent is epidemiological secondary data research? How transparent could it be?
This was a project that originated in NORRN’s @norrepro.bsky.social metascientific work in collaboration with fantastic researchers at @uio.no and FHI in Norway 🇳🇴 Check out Timo’s thread below! 👇🏻
Experimentology cover: title and curves for distributions.
Experimentology is out today!!! A group of us wrote a free online textbook for experimental methods, available at experimentology.io - the idea was to integrate open science into all aspects of the experimental workflow from planning to design, analysis, and writing.

Science minister Patrick Vallance has warned that “curiosity-driven” research is one of the “easiest” areas for governments to cut, but stressed it must be “protected and grown” alongside improving the UK’s applied research base

Some really interesting presentations coming up at the Metascience 2025 conference in late June early July. Here's four that take a step back to consider the discipline of metascience, question some of its assumptions, and reimagine its approach...
RoRI partner @fwf-at.bsky.social released a new study exploring how basic research, when free from immediate commercial pressures, can still generate powerful economic and social returns.
