What is critical metascience and why is it important?
Published: July 17, 2026 10:00
Metascience uses a scientific approach to understand and improve science. Critical metascience takes a step back to question metascience's common assumptions, methods, problems, and solutions. In this article, I aim to raise the profile of critical…
Can a Good Theory Be Built Using Bad Ingredients?

Accountability in evidence syntheses: On the need for rigorous peer review and reporting guidelines
Published: June 13, 2026 10:00
It is an unfortunate reality that metascience and metaresearch are not immune to methodological or reporting issues. Best practices for conducting and reporting evidence syntheses are well-established, and we expect them to be enforced by this journal.…
