Brian Arthur Nosek is an American social-cognitive psychologist, professor of psychology at the University of Virginia, and the co-founder and director of the Center for Open Science.[1] He also co-founded the Society for the Improvement of Psychological Science and Project Implicit.[2][3] He has been on the faculty of the University of Virginia since 2002.[2]
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]
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.[4] 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.[5][6] In 2014 Nosek was guest-editor of a special issue of the journal Social Psychology dedicated to the publication of preregistered replications.[7]
In 2015, he was named one of "Nature's 10" by the scientific journal Nature.[8] In 2018, Nosek was awarded, alongside Mahzarin Banaji and Anthony Greenwald, with a Golden Goose Award from the American Association for the Advancement of Science for their work on implicit bias.[9]
