1. Psi Chi’s Network for International Collaborative Exchange (NICE)

Presented at Association for Psychological Sciences
May 26th, 2017
In all my affiliations, there are projects that utilize the OSF. At PLU, my scholarship is housed there; At JSP, authors use it to apply for Open Science Badges; At Psi Chi, the Research Advisory Committee uses it to compile measurement scales for members to use.

2. Outline Psi Chi Diverse Resources Meta Science Projects
NICE Development and Vision
Advancing Diversity through Research

3. Diverse Resources for NICE
Diversity Committee
International Advisory Committee
Research Advisory Committee
Psi Chi Journal and Communicational Dept.
Each of these is invested in PSI CHI:NICE

4. Meta-Science Projects and Openness
Crisis of Confidence in Psychology (Science)
Replication Crisis sparked the Revolution
Calls for increased Scientific Transparency
Outcome is better Science
Increased interest in Large-Scale Replications
The Creation of the Open Science Framework

5. Open Science as Antidote
Confirmatory Tests require forward planning
Preregistration and the “Pre-reg Challenge”
Replication requires access to materials
Open Materials
Reproducibility requires data reanalysis
Open Data
Open Transparency Badges and the Transparency and Openness in Publishing Guidelines (ToP guidelines)

6. Idealistic Meta-Science
“Imagine if the Association for Psychological Science published a list of 10 research questions each spring. Across the nation, faculty and students at undergraduate institutions could choose to study one or more of these questions through replication; data collection might also include inviting participants to complete additional measures of personality, attitudes, or background information, providing a richer data source. Once each project was completed, the collected data, along with a brief APA-style report, could be submitted to a Web portal. The most impressive projects might receive awards and stipends.” Grahe et al. (2012)
My suggestion for Brian Nosek’s and Jeffrey Spies Scientific Utopia.
Bring replication and open science into the classroom as option for research methods or capstone students or Psi Chi members.
This is my goal. This is the ideal that I want the audience to consider.
