Association for Interdisciplinary Meta-Research and Open Science Annual Conference

The purpose of the Association for Interdisciplinary Meta-Research and Open Science (AIMOS) is to make the research process more trustworthy and efficient, and to promote the study of how research is done and how it can be improved. Its annual conference is meant to be an important collaborative space that advances this purpose, bringing together researchers from multiple disciplines to talk about how research is done and how we can do it better. Submissions for presentations are due by August 15.

Keynote speakers for the event are Simine Vazire, professor at Melbourne School of Psychological Sciences at the University of Melbourne; Ian Hussey of the Institute of Psychology at the University of Bern; and Kate Williams, associate professor at the School of Social and Political Sciences at the University of Melbourne.

A pre-conference Replication Games event, held with the Institute for Replication, will take place November 29. Participants will work in teams to replicate the analyses and evaluate the conclusions from published research studies – improving your own research skills along the way.
