Symposium: A critical analysis of the scientific reform movement

I just found out I missed this symposium, now it’s on my to watch list. @briannosek mentions it is a preview for the Metascience 2021 conference which I’m looking forward to later this year.

As the science reform movement has gathered momentum to change research culture and behavior relating to openness, rigor, and reproducibility, so has the critical analysis of the reform efforts. This symposium includes five perspectives examining distinct aspects of the reform movement to illuminate and challenge underlying assumptions about the value and impact of changing practices, to identify potential unintended or counterproductive consequences, and to provide a meta perspective of metascience and open science. It’s meta, all the way up.
