Mental simulation theories of language comprehension propose that people automatically create mental representations of objects mentioned in sentences. Mental representation is often measured with the sentence-picture verification task, wherein participants first read a sentence that implies the object property (i.e., shape and orientation). Partic...

Measures of total kidney volume (TKV) help to evaluate disease progression, and masks to define the kidney are important for the automatic assessment of multiparametric images collected in the same data space. For accurate measures in multicentre studies an automated method which is vendor agnostic and robust against image artefacts is needed. Here...

... Authors must set aside a proportion of their research projects (in terms of time, money, and resources) to Big Team Science projects and international collaborations across multiple countries. Examples of this are plenty in psychology, including social psychology (see Bago et al., 2022;Klein et al., 2018;Moshontz et al., 2018;Pownall et al., 2021, van Bavel et al., 2022, cognitive psychology (Chen et al., 2023), linguistics (Coretta et al., 2022) and economics (Delios et al., 2022;Tierney et al., 2020Tierney et al., , 2021. Although such studies are very time-and resource-intensive, depending on the study characteristics and the role of the author, this is one benefit to ensure that our findings are universal and generalizable. ...
Conversations about the internationalization of psychological sciences have occurred over a few decades with very little progress. Previous work shows up to 95% of participants in the studies published in mainstream journals are from Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic nations. Similarly, a large proportion of authors are based in North America. This imbalance is well-documented across a range of subfields in psychology, yet the specific steps and best practices to bridge publication and data gaps across world regions are still unclear. To address this issue, we conducted a hackathon at the Society for the Improvement of Psychological Science 2021 conference to develop guidelines to improve international representation of authors and participants, adapted for various stakeholders in the production of psychological knowledge. Based on this hackathon, we discuss specific guidelines and practices that funding bodies, academic institutions, professional academic societies, journal editors and reviewers, and researchers should engage with to ensure psychology is the scientific discipline of human behavior and cognition across the world. These recommendations will help us develop a more valid and fairer science of human sociality.
