There will also be opportunities to work across our current suite of grants and research centres, including the Centre for Healthcare Innovation and Improvement and the Bath Institute for Digital Security and Behaviour.

We are keen to recruit a researcher with expertise in digital health (i.e., health, psychology, human-computer interaction, human factors, computer science, or a cognate discipline) to primarily support Bath’s contribution to LEAP’s Skills and Knowledge Programme.

Born out of the challenges we faced when trying to collect data for an empirical study on groups, it was expertly lead by Lukas Mayer and @Dessi_Bocheva with @jo_hinds, @liv_brown20 and @lukaszpiwek

'Optimeet: A computational tool to enhance participant attendance in group research' In this paper we discuss the challenges of conducting group based research and provide a practical, web-based tool that can enhance the recruitment of groups for experimental research.

An interesting paper that reminds us that psychometric standards in psychology are often not up to the task.

I proudly held my C.Psychol status for exactly one year after my PhD—during which time nobody asked about it, cared about it, or even knew what those letters meant. A friend once described it as a VIP pass to a club that doesn’t exist. https://t.co/fdipubUXd4

The term 'Chartered Psychologist' is now legally protected, which will finally put a stop to the rampant epidemic of people pretending to be chartered psychologists at dinner parties.

Another day, another 'Data available on request' request meets the same fate as my childhood letters to the Tooth Fairy. Why not = 'Data available on request (terms and conditions apply: must sacrifice first-born child, solve world hunger, and correctly guess my favorite colour).

It also serves to remind people that ethics is a conversation. Not a tick-box exercise. As digital technologies become increasingly central to how participants and citizens interact with researchers and governments, the stakes for getting this right have never been higher.

Now published, the #DECIDEFramework in #AMPPS. Here we provide a suite of resources to support researchers with ethical considerations in digital behavioural research.

These changes don't diminish the contributions of individual researchers. However, it will stop institutions from claiming they had a role in research when, in reality, they had zero involvement.

This often leads to hit-and-miss hiring decisions, and I hope that these changes will encourage an equal consideration of how the institutional environment can best support future research.

This will hopefully limit hiring decisions based entirely on 'they have published this thing, so we should hire them for REF'.

Confirmed @ref2029 policy: 'Institutions must demonstrate a substantive link to the research output being submitted through an eligible employment relationship.'
