[Face-research-list] Opinion poll regarding current research practices

[Jessica Komes]

Hi all,

On behalf of Susann Fiedler  (apologies for cross-posting):

Dear fellow psychologists,

To maintain high scientific standards in our field, it is extremely 
important that we regularly take a step back and assess the research, 
data analysis, reporting, and publication practices that represent the 
current standards in psychology. You may be aware of the debate going on 
in the psychological community regarding a recent article that addressed 
the question of whether current practices should be revised (Simmons et 
al., 2011, Psychological Science). The article has led to diverse 
reactions among psychologists; and there is much speculation concerning 
the popular opinion of "psychologists as a whole" towards the 
recommendations put forth by the article.

In cooperation with the Open Science Framework 
(http://openscienceframework.org/), we are conducting a worldwide survey 
of psychologists to determine the extent to which the recommendations in 
the above mentioned article are supported by the psychological 
community. Everyone's opinion is important; and it is not necessary that 
you have read the article in order to participate.

Share your opinion about psychological research practices and the 
quality of publications in psychological journals by participating in 
this short survey!

The survey takes approximately 10 minutes and is completely anonymous. 
Participants may also enter into a raffle to win one of three 50$ Amazon 
gift certificates.
