It's very diff to know, which is one reason I find the personal criticisms - when they come - so helpful. I feel that the more senior you get in academia (& perhaps in life in general), the harder it is to obtain an accurate sense of how your motivations are perceived by others.

I feel like it might be different for different people though too. But roughly, yes, as one moves upwards one has fewer peers (given some meaning of the word — it's a pyramid after all) and thus less chance at feedback.

I suppose w twitter there is at least the possibility of feedback from anon accounts. I remember last year some extremely valuable (albeit quite angry) feedback re RRs that led us to make a major policy change. I learned later it was an ECR & I owed them. It's an valuable voice.

Oh, cool. You remember how to find them? Interesting to me to see the exchange.

Gosh it would be hard to dig it out on twitter now as I can't think of a hook to search for (or the person's handle), but it began in the comments section of my blog from the (I think same) anonymous commenter. I believe this is the first mention here: http://neurochambers.blogspot.com/2016/08/registered-reports-for-qualitative.html?showComment=1485702046475#c6679323600952644178 …

I recall that there was then some twitter discussion and the issue came up again in Gelman's blog (from what appeared to be the same commenter) https://andrewgelman.com/2017/09/08/much-backscratching-happy-talk-junk-science-gets-share-reputation-respected-universities/#comment-561250 …

In and around this was twitter discussion about the same issue from I think the same person & it became clear to me that this person was speaking truth to power. Except I (this time) was the power... It was a scream from the dark and among the most useful feedback I've had.

I really can't emphasise how enough how useful this kind of straight talk is. Most of the criticism I get from senior academics is oblique & agenda-ridden, and just not v useful. This was on point, specific & quite personal. It's important imo that we preserve mechanisms for this

I had no idea your original preregistering thing at Cortex initially started out closed. Wow. Mad props to this ECR.

Yup. I screwed up on this. But thanks to them (and the work of
@Tom_Hardwicke - another ECR) we are now well on track to fixing this problem https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gQu2RVg2rXQhg9v4V0IBiF6ckS3maHBm/view?usp=sharing … ECRs having a important impact - yet again - on science reform. In fact, it's ECRs all the way down.1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes
That's both good/fair and bad/unfair though. As I'm sure you can imagine!

Indeed. I regularly feel conflicted about it, and I do what I can to support ECRs and pull my weight. But it is what it is.
