The mission of AIMOS (Association for Interdisciplinary Meta-Research and Open Science) is to improve the quality of scientific research.
Science is vital to humanity, but its value is being undermined because much scientific research is not reproducible, rigorous, or relevant. We will bring together and support researchers working in the interdisciplinary field of meta-research, which uses research methods to study how research is done. We will find where improvements can be made and promote effective interventions. We will support researchers working in any discipline who seek to adopt open science practices, including study registration and data sharing. We are an interdisciplinary society and welcome the views of researchers from all scientific fields and backgrounds.
You can support AIMOS by becoming a member, see our Membership page.
Introducing MetaROR - an open peer review platform for metaresearch
MetaROR is not a traditional scholarly journal, but a platform that operates according to the publish-review-curate model.
This model will accelerate the communication of scholarly work since peer review will take place after publication rather than before. Peer review will benefit not only the authors of a work but also the readers, who can use the published review reports to assess the research.
AIMOS2025 conference - 19-21 November, Sydney
Our 7th annual conference will bring together researchers from multiple scientific disciplines to talk about how research is done and how we can do it better. We will announce more details about AIMOS 2025 conference shortly.
