Dear colleagues and friends,
This is meant as a quick update regarding our activities during the months of July and August 2022.
[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 a science reform. 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.

Scheduled PCI-RR Stage 1 in-principle acceptances
In the previous mailing list updates I wrote about my attempt to run all thesis projects this year as Peer Community in Registered Reports (PCI-RR) submissions. We have so far submitted 9 guided thesis student projects and additional 7 team projects based on course-work in my classes. 9 of these projects received a Stage 1 in-principle acceptance from PCIRR and the journal Collabra:Psychology.
What has happened since is that we proceeded to data collection for all thesis projects and the thesis students have all completed and submitted their theses. We will be spending the next few months verifying those and going through Stage 2 peer-review review with PCIRR. Pending verification, it was nice to see that our generally high replication rate also happened this year with most of the projects concluding successful replications with very interesting findings from our extensions, and for hypotheses we could not find support for, we were able to gain some important insights that I think would make a difference for those studying the phenomenon moving forward.
You can take a glimpse of the initial findings (before verifications and preparation for Stage 2 submission) as submitted in their theses, we are very keen on feedback.
In my biased subjective opinion - this is some of the best replication work I've ever been part of, and meets highest-standards open-science I've seen. What these students accomplished in their theses is revolutionary and nothing short of exceptional. I could not have hoped for a better first trial of doing student theses as PCI-RR submissions, and I am very proud of the students for their efforts and achievements.

Feel free to share any of these with others. Happy to answer questions.
If you want to talk more about implementing open-science, registered reports, 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,
