Projects and publications

 

Alongside the publications from my PhD and my postdoc work, I’ve also been working on a few Open Scholarship and Meta-Science projects:

 

• Member of the University of Birmingham team for Many Analysts in Gender-Inclusive Language project, investigating the effects of gender-inclusive language forms on the cognitive retrieval of female exemplars. More information coming soon!
  
• Member of Bulgarian team of the Psychological Science Accelerator’s Minimal Groups Study.
• Open Scholarship in the Developing World project, in collaboration with FORRT. More information coming soon!
• Creating a translated and adapted for Bulgarian version of FORRT’s Glossary (work in progress)
• Participated as a community reviewer of NASA’s Transform to Open Science curriculum
• Investigating the impact of open and reproducible scholarship on students’ attitudes, outcomes, and engagement, as part of FORRT (see Pownall et al., 2023)
• Working on a project about the feminist ways of doing science (Hartmann et al., 2023)
• Team leader of the University of Birmingham Team and analyst in Many Speech Analyses collaborative project aiming to understand the robustness of speech analyses (see Coretta et al., 2023)
• Contributing to the Replications and Reversals FORRT project, where we’re developing a very large resource of the replicability of effects across the social and natural sciences (manuscript in prep)
• Taking part in FORRT’s 100+ Summaries of Open and Reproducible Science Literature project, which is planned to be a very large resource for Open Scholarship educators and people who want to learn more about doing better science (manuscript in prep)
• Working on a project investigating best practices for publishing student graduate work (manuscript in prep). More information coming soon!
• Part of an international team investigating the adoption of Open Science practices cross-culturally (see Baum et al., 2022)
• Contributed to the Bulgarian translation of the Consensus-Based Transparancy Checklist (see Balazs et al., 2020, for the original English version)
