Here are the nominees for the nine open spots for the AIMOS board (in random order). Statements may be added to as they are received.

  • Adrian Barnett (statistics, Australia)

    • Adrian is a statistician with over 25 years of experience working in health and medical research as a statistician, and has worked for industry and in universities. Adrian is passionate about using the best available evidence in national health and science policy. He is particularly interested in how we generate high quality scientific evidence that is of most value to the public and politicians, and how this evidence gets translated into policy and practice. He has researched how research is funded, and has worked with funding agencies in Australia and overseas to improve their processes. He has researched how scientists write and report their research including their use of statistical methods, with the aim of increasing the value of the enormous time and effort that goes into research. He is past president of the Statistical Society of Australia, and a current board member of Science Technology Australia and a member of their policy committee. He was recently made a fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences in Australia.

He co-led the PRISMA 2020 statement for systematic reviews and was a member of the core group who developed the RoB 2 tool for assessing risk of bias in randomized trials. He is an associate scientific editor for the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions and is a member of the editorial board for the Journal of Clinical Epidemiology, the longest running metaresearch journal in health. He frequently collaborates with clinician researchers, providing them with advice on how to improve the conduct and reporting of their research, and this applied work often informs his metaresearch agenda. Matthew is also a co-convenor of the Cochrane Bias Methods Group and was a general committee member of the AIMOS Board in 2021, where he sat on the organising committee for the AIMOS 2021 conference.

  • Daniel Hamilton (medicine, Australia)

    • Daniel is a PhD candidate investigating ethical and reproducible research practices in oncology within the MetaMelb group at the University of Melbourne. He is also a research assistant on the repliCATS project, which is evaluating the replicability of social sciences research, as well as supervises a number of student research projects within the University of Melbourne’s Master of Cancer Sciences course.

He is the current Research Ethics Editor for the journal Advances in Radiation Oncology. He was also one of the founding AIMOS committee members when it was created in 2019, and is serving on the current organising committee of AIMOS 2021.

  • Alex Holcombe (psychology, Australia)

    • Alex is a professor of psychology at the University of Sydney and has been involved in open access and open science initiatives since 2006. He co-founded the Registered Replication Reports format, now published at a journal he also co-founded, Advances in Methods and Practices in Psychological Science. Speaking of co-founding journals, regarding his ongoing work with AIMOS, he is most excited about the planned initiative for a new journal of metaresearch or metascience, as this is an initiative where he can pour his passion for open access and open science into new infrastructure that should serve as a strong foundation for the rapidly growing field that AIMOS is a part of. He also was on the organizing committee for AIMOS2020 and is looking forward to assisting with future AIMOS conferences that hopefully will have an in-person (possibly on a hub model) component.

  • Kathy Zeiler (law, US)

    • Kathy Zeiler is a Nancy Barton Scholar and Professor of Law at Boston University School of Law. Prior to joining BU Law, she was a Professor of Law at the Georgetown University Law Center (2003–2015). She has held visiting professorships at Harvard Law School, NYU School of Law, Boston University School of Law, and Heidelberg University.

    • I have been involved in Open Sources Software for the past 30 Years. I have been part of the Linux Australia Conference (LCA) organising and running the mini embedded conference. I have spoken on Open Source in industry and have been a member of Open Source Industry Australia Organisation (OSIA). I have also been involved in Open Hardware.

  • Martin Bush (history and philosophy of science, Australia)

    • Martin started in mathematical physics, moved through science communication and the cultural history of science and is now a meta-researcher in the IMeRG, based in the History and Philosophy of Science Program. Martin’s metaresearch focus on public reasoning practices draw on this academic background and professional experience in the museum sector. He is currently on the AIMOS board and serves as secretary.

  • Simine Vazire (psychology, Australia)

    • My research examines whether and how science self-corrects, focusing on psychology. I study the research methods and practices used in psychology, as well as structural systems in science, such as peer review. I also examine whether people know themselves, and where our blind spots are in our self-knowledge. I teach research methods. I am editor in chief of Collabra: Psychology, one of the PIs on the repliCATS project, and the co-founder (with Brian Nosek) of the Society for the Improvement of Psychological Science. I have served on the AIMOS board for the last year, helping to develop some new projects, and I am excited to hopefully continue to work. My aim in serving on the AIMOS board is to make AIMOS a society that promotes Metaresearch across a broad range of disciplines and around the world. I am especially interested in helping to change the research culture in ways that help relieve pressure on early career researchers and help align incentives with core values in science and society (eg, transparency, rigor, fairness, inclusion).

  • Fiona Fidler (history and philosophy of science, Australia)

    • The last few years in metaresearch have been exciting, establishing new societies and building a new community of research and practice. I was the founding president of AIMOS, and have had the privilege of leading a very large metaresearch team on the repliCATS project (Collaborative Assessment for Trustworthy Science). It has been an extremely rewarding time. But the next steps are likely to be harder than the previous ones, and somewhat less “fun”. I want to be with AIMOS through those times too, and as it meets the challenges of establishing a journal; tackling the demands of interdisciplinarity, including making connections with other established fields of science studies; and supporting early career researchers in the field.

  • Malgorzata (Losia) Lagisz (evolutionary ecology, Australia)

    • I realised that science often fails to produce transparent and robust knowledge when I started conducting meta-analyses around 12 years ago. Since then, I became an active advocate for better science and a better scientist myself. With a track record of academic outputs spanning multiple disciplines, from biological to social and medical sciences, and experience in outreach and working with Open Science organisations, I believe that I have a lot to contribute to AIMOS by joining its Board. First, my experience in ecotoxicology and biomedical sciences, will bring new disciplinary flavours to AIMOS. Second, as an experienced Open Science advocate – one of the founding members of the Society for Open Reliable and Transparent Ecology and Evolutionary biology (SORTEE), ambassador with OSF, EcoEvoRxiv, active participant of panels, think tanks, innovation sprints and online communities. Third, as an active educator – I have created new modules and workshops for undergraduate and graduate students to build their awareness and skills for producing better science. Fourth, as a visual communicator, author of many images used in published meta-science articles and an organiser of Infographics Hackathon for Open Science, via SORTEE (two collaborative infographics completed). Fifth, via my experience sharing data, code, preprints and advice to my peers and students. Sixth, as a web manager and designer (e.g., created sortee.org and ecoevorxiv.com, helping with many other websites and projects). Finally, I have worked with many of the distinguished advocates of Open Science and published multiple methodological articles related to meta-analysis and meta-science in general, and thus consider myself a person deeply dedicated to improving research practice and culture. I foster equity, diversity, and inclusion, and practically engage with local communities to promote and build better understanding of science. I believe that only by working together we can make the difference.

  • Carmelina Contarino (history and philosophy of science, Australia)

    • Carmelina is a student of the History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Melbourne. Carmelina is currently on the AIMOS board and serves as the student representative.

Dear AIMOS members and subscribers:

In an otherwise challenging year, it’s with some pleasure that I write with good news!

Donation

First, I am just thrilled to announce that AIMOS has received a generous donation of AUD $200,000. We in the AIMOS board are both humbled by this generosity and see it as an enormous responsibility. We are committed to ensuring this donation does the absolute most to improve the way research is conducted and reported.

A journal for metaresearch

Speaking of that, one of the initiatives we want to get off the ground first is to establish a journal for metaresearch. We have noticed that while metaresearch is a thriving field, there are limited outlets for it. Naturally, we are committed to this journal being open access with no APCs and requiring or encouraging many other transparent and open practices.

We plan to have a session at #AIMOS2021 to develop further ideas for the journal (including settling on a name!) and to roll it out in 2022.

#AIMOS2021 

And on that note, we hope that Metascience2021 whetted your appetite for AIMOS’s yearly conference. We have a truly fantastic array of plenary talks this year (Sarah de Rijcke, Brian Nosek, Rose O’Dea, and Julia Rohrer), and submissions are open for your own sessions. You may register for the conference now too.

The link is here: https://www.aimosconference.com/

Rule changes and a special general meeting to seek your approval for those changes

Oh, and on the topic of meetings, we will be holding a special general meeting to seek your approval of some changes to AIMOS’s rules that the board has drafted. The main reason for these changes is to increase the terms of future boards to 3 years. One year (the current term length) is an awfully short amount of time to get much done. The amendments also provide that notice of elections must be sent out 21 days prior to the election, and that the board may authorise someone to expend funds on behalf of AIMOS, up to a certain amount. The latter will help us operate more smoothly as we grow.

In other words, the meeting will be to approve a motion that the rules of AIMOS Inc be amended as follows: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kjsSOkkQqlZsHw6eH8Y1Cw8Dx11Cj4Fd/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=105617093861153222340&rtpof=true&sd=true

As with the last general meeting, which we called to help change the rules so that we could become a charity and accept the above donation, you can assign a proxy to vote for you here: https://forms.gle/mzEwGKJrY5Kr7Vhy9

You’re of course welcome to attend in person and I look forward to seeing you then.

Time: 4PM AEST; Date: October 27, 2021; Zoom link: https://uni-sydney.zoom.us/j/87537489085

Sincerely,

Jason Chin

DECEMBER 4, 2020

2020 President’s Statement by Hannah Fraser.

I would like to begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we stand today, and pay my respects to their Elders past and present. I am very proud and privileged to have been elected president of AIMOS at last year’s AGM. It has been fantastic to get to know and work with all of the other amazing people on the committee. 2020 has been by far the worst year I’ve experienced (I’m sure many of you feel the same way) and working alongside other people who were as passionate about meta-research and open science as me has been a bright spot in an otherwise pretty dark year.

The COVID pandemic has turned a spotlight on some of the problems associated with practices that meta-research and open science has been concerned with for years. In medicine, epidemiology, and economics at least, the pandemic has pressed researchers to produce useful research and translate this into papers in days or weeks, much faster than the usual timeframes. This kind of speed and urgency has revealed cracks in the scientific process where people have been using questionable practices, planning their research poorly and making mistakes. It’s not completely surprising that there have been some very publicly problematic and misleading publications arise. Not all fields of research (or individuals within each field) are equally aware of the kinds of problems and practices that are the focus of meta-research and open science. AIMOS uniquely provides a place for researchers from all disciplines to share knowledge and insights they have gained about improving scientific practice, to the benefit of the whole scientific community. In some ways the pandemic has made AIMOS more important than ever before.

AIMOS has achieved a lot this year:

Although, plans of AIMOS meet-ups at other conferences were put aside due to the pandemic, we made substantial gains in other areas. We have developed a resource page on our website to help those who are just starting to think about meta-research and/or open science, we initiated a weekly twitter update that draws attention to hot off the press meta-research and open science papers with an interdisciplinary focus. We’ve updated the rules to allow for online voting in committee election which will let AIMOS be more inclusive of international members. And of course, we’ve organized this wonderful conference which is time-zone friendly (as much as anything in Australia can be), and accessible to all regardless of finances, and includes funding for awards and prizes for the first time. Make sure you stay around after the AGM and see the remaining lightning talks and prizes being awarded in the plenary webinar link. We hope you’ve all enjoyed the conference so far and I want to thank you particularly for coming along to our AGM. Voting is now closed and I’m going to hand over to Shinichi to give a quick summary of AIMOS finances while Mathew Ling runs the code to work out who has been elected to the AIMOS 2021 committee. 

November 10, 2019

The new AIMOS Committee for 2020 was elected at our AGM. Thanks to our outgoing members and congratulations on the new team.

President: Hannah Fraser
Vice-President: Bonnie Wintle
Treasurer: Shinichi Nakagawa
Secretary: Ascelin Gordon
Ordinary members of the Committee:
Jennifer Beaudry
Vanessa Crosby

November 8, 2019

2018/2019 President’s Statement by Fiona Fidler.

As President, I am obliged to report on the activities of AIMOS in the last financial year. In the last financial year, AIMOS was established on 12 June 2019 and existed for 18 days.They were very nice.

Of course, there was activity before this that should be recorded. In September 2018, UQ Open Science held a two day SIPS-style meeting at their St Lucia campus, coordinated by Assoc Prof Eric Vanman, which attracted ~150 students and researchers. That meeting was in large part inspiration for establishing AIMOS. In Nov 2018, the Interdisciplinary Meta-research Group at the University of Melbourne held a two day meeting ‘From Replication Crisis to Credibility Revolution’, hosting Prof Simine Vazire as a keynote speaker. Again, with attendance of over 100 people. From that, ANZORN (the Australia and New Zealand Open Research Network) was established by Dr Mathew Ling (Deakin University), and very quickly established nodes in many capital cities and in NZ. Over 200 researchers from a variety of disciplines have joined ANZORN slack group. A short, but busy history.

At this point I want to document my thoughts about what AIMOS is about. I think we share a pretty clear idea of what the O and S (Open Science) part of AIMOS covers—the importance of transparency, open data, data sharing, open code, reproducible workflows, are well understood, at least by the people in this room, if still not as widely practiced in every discipline as we might hope. But I suspect there’s less shared understanding of the M (Meta-research or Metascience). Meta-research and metascience are terms that are not used uniformly across all our fields. Some people, including me, use them interchangeably, to others they’re different, and some don’t use them at all. Here’s what they mean to me. (These aren’t rules or definitions, just my thoughts about the work I am engaged in.)

In September 2019, the Metascience Symposium at Stanford University that made the bold claim that it was ‘the meeting to establish a new discipline of metascience’. To me, AIMOS is part of this new discipline. I’m aware that the claim of a ‘new discipline’ seems presumptuous to some, especially to those from HPS and STS. But to my mind, this is the wrong way to think about it. Starting a new community of research does not mean denying relevant work that has come before, whether in philosophy of science or sociology of science, statistics, or indeed from within our own scientific disciplines. What it does mean—at least, what I hope it means—is bringing new and immediate purpose to that older work.

Early metascience projects identified and documented problems like low replication rates; incomplete or inconsistent statistical reporting; and a high prevalence of p-hacking and cherry picking. As Open Science initiatives were created to address those problems, new metascience research questions emerged, Such as ‘do registered reports result in less publication bias (bias towards statistically significant results)?’, ‘did this particular editorial policy about statistical reporting have an impact?’ and ‘what have the effects of initiatives like the Transparency and Openness Promotion guidelines been?’ Over time, we have recognised that this evaluation work cannot be a snapshot. All incentives can eventually be gamed, and some initiatives may have unintended or perverse consequences. So we need to monitor. Metascience is an ongoing program of research that is about designing, measuring and monitoring the impact of incentives.

Designing new incentives to improve the culture of science, and especially figuring out how to measure them, necessarily requires reflection on scientific practice. We hit up against questions like: How do researchers interpret evidence, and negotiate uncertainty? What cognitive biases affect our scientific practice?S hould we be demarcating exploratory and confirmatory research report—and what impact might this demarcation have on the process of scientific discovery? How should we talk about issues with the public, so that episodes like the replication crisis don’t end up enlisted by the political parties as excuse to disregard water quality controls in the reef, ignore climate change and so on.

These questions force us into history, philosophy, sociology and psychology of science territory, into statistical theory, and sometimes into politics. Not to reinvent the wheel, but to learn from scholars there, work with them, and to help shape, in small ways at least, the goals of their research. We are lucky to have researchers from those disciplines here with us at AIMOS, contributing to building this new community, and we will be stronger for it.

We need all these pieces—identifying and documenting problems, open science developments and the design of new incentives to address those problems, monitoring and evaluating research programs, informed by deep understandings of scientific practice—to stay connected, and to work as a whole. And we need this to happen across many different scientific fields, medicine, psychology, economics, ecology and more. It is an intimidating interdisciplinary challenge.

Good luck.

Professor Fiona Fidler
