Navigating scholarly exchange in today’s media environment

Growing concerns about the reliability and validity of published empirical research has helped to fuel an increasing number of scholarly exchanges about research replications and reproductions, which often play out in social media, anonymous blog posts, and the media. I argue that we undermine our collective efforts to promote transparent and rigorous scientific practice if we fail to pay attention to language and communication-in our exchanges with both the media and each other.
