A crescendo of incidents have raised concerns about whether scientific practices in psychology may be suboptimal, sometimes leading to the publication, dissemination, and application of unreliable or misinterpreted findings. Psychology has been a leader in identifying possibly suboptimal practices and proposing reforms that might enhance the efficiency of the scientific process and the publication of robust evidence and interpretations. To help shape future efforts, this paper offers a model of the psychological and socio-structural forces and processes that may influence scientists’ practices. The model identifies practices targeted by interventions and reforms, and which practices remain unaddressed. The model also suggests directions for empirical research to assess how best to enhance the effectiveness of psychological inquiry.

This is a textbook for library science students and librarians on systems librarianship. It includes seven chapters that begin with an overview of systems librarianship as a profession. The work then proceeds to cover and demonstrate a series of technical topics that include creating Linux virtual machines using Google Cloud, learning to use the Linux command line, and learning to use Git and GitHub for project management. Based on those demonstrations, the work then walks readers through the process of creating a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) server, installing and configuring open source content management systems (WordPress and Omeka), and installing and configuring an open source integrated library system (Koha ILS).
