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.

Please forward this e-mail to your colleagues.
Sincerely,
