ONLINE FIRST & OPEN ACCESS! How did perceptions of elite manipulation influence resistance to COVID-19 reporting and the spread of misinformation? This study by @marlis_st, @Isa_Freiling, and Jörg Matthes examines how audiences in 🇦🇹 resist news evidence. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

It’s bad for various fields of social science who — during an ongoing replicability debate — should have learned by now to not trust suspiciously shiny findings from a single data source, especially one curated by an industry partner with obvious COIs. x.com/scheufele/stat…

If industry-controlled analyses like this showed no effects from #fossilfuels on #climatechange or no #cancer risks from smoking, most journals would not publish them. Social science needs to figure out how and why industry #COIs are different for #socialmedia and #polarization.

It’s bad for the journals who published this in spite of referees pointing out this very problem during peer review, and are not retracting, as of now. x.com/scheufele/stat…

"Outside researchers were not allowed to handle the raw data." Against reviewer concerns, @ScienceMagazine publishes work that allows @meta to define what they consider #misinformation and largely absolves platforms from responsibility for #polarization. science.org/content/articl…

63 algorithmic interventions designed to make #Facebook temporarily provide less polarizing and more reliable content likely distorted the data sets that @Meta fed to academic researchers and helped get publish with Meta employees as co-authors. #elettersSection" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Most importantly, we need to evaluate metrics and interventions empirically with reliable social science. Otherwise, we’ll just “pied-piper” academia toward the next iteration of dysfunctional #openscience tools, as our paper led by @Isa_Freiling outlines: academic.oup.com/joc/article/71…

New study with @NilsTokolosh. Based on experiments in three controversies, we show that an attitudinal polarization of trust in science can be mitigated when scientists adopt the styles of honest brokers versus that of epistocrats when giving public policy advice, i.e.... (1/2).
