Brian Arthur Nosek is an American social psychologist, professor of psychology at the University of Virginia, and the co-founder and director of the Center for Open Science.[1] He has been on the faculty of the University of Virginia since 2002.[2]
Education
Nosek received his B.S. from California Polytechnic State University in 1995, and his M.S., M.Phil., and Ph.D. from Yale University in 1998, 1999, and 2002, respectively.[2]
Work
In 2011, Nosek and his collaborators set up the "Reproducibility Project", with the aim of trying to replicate the results of 100 psychological experiments published in respected journals in 2008.[3] In 2015, their results were published in Science, and found that only 36 out of the 100 replications showed statistically significant results, compared with 97 of the 100 original experiments.[4][5] In 2014, Nosek, the then-editor of the journal Social Psychology, dedicated an issue of this journal solely to attempted replications.[6]
