Study quality as an intellectual and ethical imperative: A proposed framework (Plonsky, 2024, ARAL).
Really enjoyed writing this paper, which consolidates and paves a path forward for work on the notion of quality in the context of applied linguistics.

More advances in meta-analytic methods in L2 research! This paper presents a meta-analytic

Call for proposals for

Out soon: "The future of

for replication outcomes to be better understood, evaluated.

. And in case anyone is wondering, this applies to essentially every meta in L2 research, not just what some of us might think of as “complex”.

@RoRInstitute
3 types of impact as part of study quality: 1-As you said, social (to what extent does the research contribute to society?); 2-Academic (eg. to what extent does the study add scholarly knowledge and/or influence thinking among researchers; 3-Practical/clinical (field-depending)
@ed_linguist
No easy solution but reviewers and editors need to check this (among 1000s of other things). I reject papers submitted to

for this all. the. time.

Lots of insights in this paper on RTs! Some favs of mine all linked to good old validity:
-pay attn to coefficients of variation (the topic our Coffee & Cronbach next week!) and accuracy
-pitfalls of discarding inaccurate trials
-issues with predictive validity & RT (diffs)

@umd_arhu
Hui (2020) is probably the only paper in AL that mentions CV in the abstract (the first line, in fact!), so definitely on the menu! And thanks so much for the offer--would love to have you at C&C sometime!

Thanks so much for the invite to be part of this series, for hosting, and for the great discussion following the talk,

Great post, as always. And three cheers to Gaëtanelle for the eloquent reminder on the many (many!) decisions we make, each of which can have major effects on study outcomes
