Dear colleagues and friends,
Last few weeks have been intense for us in Hong Kong, on multiple domains. Though the Hong Kong Universities and studies have been affected we are trying to continue with the projects best we can. Below are invitations to join us in an open peer-review of the students' work, in aim for revisions to be submitted in a couple of weeks.
Cancelled events: Please note that the two previously announced planned talks I was to give at CUHK and HKU this and the following week are cancelled.
[Mailing list explanation: I started using an email mailing list to keep those who work with me, know me, and/or attend my activities updated about all that we're doing in my lab at HKU. I am hoping to help you in your research activities and slowly build a community interested in open-science to promote the "credibility revolution". I add those who have asked me or corresponded with me about my research or activities. If you're not interested in further updates, links to unsubscribe available at the bottom. If others want to join/previous emails: https://tinyurl.com/giladmailinglist ]
Open peer-review books by students: Taking stock of the credibility revolution
In our Fundamentals of Social Psychology class (PSYC2020) students have been charged with the task of collaboratively writing a unique Google Doc book to summarize the brief history of the ongoing replication/reproducibility crisis leading to the credibility revolution.
Students submitted their initial chapters last week, and are now receiving comments from the TAs and myself. We would love to get your feedback on those chapters. Please feel free to directly comment on the students' work. Students have till December 12 to improve on their submitted chapters, so any feedback you give could in the upcoming week would really help them do better.

Taking stock of the credibility revolution: Scientific reform 2011-now
[Background: This is based on an initiative started at SIPS hackathon called "Creating (and mapping) the history of scientific reform" (GDoc) headed by Fiona Fidler and Bobbie Spellman. We separated the SIPS session into two groups with my group taking charge of the 2011-now part. To jump-start and push the initiative forward, I decided to try and mass mobilize my students this semester to write initial chapters that we might build on and maybe even submit to some journal.]
December 2nd: Preparing for open peer-review on final reports
This week I completed the data collection for our mass replications+extensions project. It was an intense week. For each replication target I collected two very large samples (600-2200 participants per each sample) using 2 different platforms - Amazon Mechanical Turk (Americans) and Prolific Academic (British, unless replication materials was US specific, and then I used Americans on Prolific).
Students are now in the process of completing their data analyses and are expected to submit their first final report for review on December 1st.
In the previous round we received amazing help and feedback from our peer reviewers: Farid, Emir, Wilson, Prasad, Qinyu, Riddhi, Dorothy, Ziqing, Adrien, Bill, and Hallgeir. I reviewed the pre-registrations before and after the revisions on the feedback and I could see the remarkable improvement by the students. To me, this is the essence of the open-science spirit.
Open call: We need more external peer reviewers!
If you've already reviewed with us: Please prepare time to review on the week following December 2nd.
If you haven't but would like to, please contact me (giladfel@gmail.com) to let me know.
I will keep you posted as we make progress.

Feel free to share any of these with others. Happy to answer questions.
If you want to talk more about implementing open-science, pre-registered replications, meta-analyses, etc. in your department and/or university, please do get in touch, I'm very happy to help.
Best regards,
