How well have communication meta-analysts done in addressing publication bias? Well, not too well.😉 See my review paper w/ Zhongdang Pan (UW-Madison) to appear in the HCR special issue with findings from 45 meta-analyses in 6 comm journals (2005-18) ⬇️

Abstract. Publication bias has been recognized as a threat to the validity of meta-analytic findings and scientific knowledge in general. Given the recent rise

This week we had two special guests @IPKW_univie: @YeSun_comm was our Lazarsfeld guest prof, with a class on meta-analyses & a talk on Comm as a science. Kevin DeLuca gave a talk on Media effects on society. What a privilege to spent time together with such insightful experts! 🙏

"How Scientific is Communication Science?" In today's talk, @YeSun_comm addressed this Q focusing on statistical power in experiments. Result: 1⃣ Only ~5% report a priori power analyses 2⃣ Power for small/medium effects only ~50% 3⃣ But: Average power is increasing in the field!

Just happy we all survived it happily 😄🥳. Also wish that meta-analysis could be taught more regularly.

Took a 5-day, 5h/day doctoral meta-analysis class run by @YeSun_comm. One of the best courses I've ever taken and omg I wish meta-analysis was taught regularly. Why isnt't it??? twitter.com/YeSun_comm/sta…

In a new @Journal_Of_Comm I argue a lot of what we think we know about the third-person effect is probably wrong. The standard measure is flawed. This warps the conclusions we've drawn about its extent, correlates, and downstream "effects" academic.oup.com/joc/advance-ar

Re-reading a review that led to a rejection of a manuscript a year ago. Now that my defensiveness is all gone, I so appreciate all the criticism--thoughtful & helping to elevate the work to a higher level that I didn't see. Like p-value, there's more to a dichotomous decision.

Brace for results of content analysis of 5 top journals in past 20 years by Ye Sun. Large majority of studies doesnt report any power analysis. Most studies (80%) are underpowered to reliably detect a modest effect. Editors, reviewers and authors, we need to do better #ica22

Concluding thoughts: 1. It's important critically to engage with research. In a fair & constructive way. I hope & believe our comment is fair & constructive. 2. Let's be more open to critical discussions of research. Please criticize my research & this comment. Because 👇 13/13

Great thread by

on questions & answers about #openscience in qualitative research. ⬇️ #Openscience is about improving transparency about research processes and hence the rigor of science. Qual vs. quant scholars tackle diff. issues, but toward the same overarching goal.

Okay, #ica20, let's do this. Here are my thoughts on #openscience and #opencomm for the more qualitative approaches in our field! (Beware, long thread.) (Also, please be kind.)

"Stats is hard." We all struggle at diff. levels and there's always so much to learn. It's okay not to know, but I'm trying my best not to be the person who "doesn’t know that he doesn’t know" and "thinks that he knows what he’s talking about when he doesn’t." Never-ending work.

Over the course of my career, I have been an Associate Editor at three journals. Finding reviewers was one of the most difficult parts of the job. Today is the fifth anniversary of the funniest "decline to review" notes I received. I post it below for your reading please. 1/4

Service announcement: Hot research topics (= Corona virus) + motivated reasoning (= Wanting to help) + selective reporting of what 'works' + potential real life implications of single studies means all you Corona researchers need LOWER your alpha levels substantially.

Amazing to see "rise up against statistical significance" backfiring (or, to be fair, being misunderstood) so badly. And it's just a paper about the coronavirus, so it's not like it MATTERS or anything... preprints.org/manuscript/202
