- Alright it's here! Where we push back against the exploratory-confirmatory distinction that's become canonized in metascience and talk about what we think exploratory research (including exploratory experimentation and modeling) means and why our view is incompatible with 'unplanned data analyses'.
- Just a little amuse-bouche for now but @ufeest.bsky.social and I about to finalize revising a paper on exploratory research, and I really love it. I believe we're making a much needed, thoughtful, and clear contribution while challenging some of the science reform notions of exploration.
- Very nice, and well timed for a methods syllabus I'm putting together. Exploration is not well theorized as just "the negative space left over when we take out confirmation."Jan 7, 2025 15:59
