Research Research Summary My first line of research is an independent continuation of my PhD-projects. In this line, I developed (together with PhD-students) hypothesis-evaluation techniques called GORIC and GORICA: information criteria that can evaluate theory-based hypotheses. This led to several first- and last- author publications in prestigious journals, such as Journal of Statistical Software, Biometrika, Psychological Methods, and Structural Equation Modelling, and to open-source software (R packages, (shiny) web applications, and stand-alone software) with accompanying tutorials/vignettes. Internationally and nationally, I am a renowned expert in the field of evaluating theory-based hypotheses using information criteria, as is illustrated by the following: • Researchers from psychology/psychometrics, sociology, and biostatistics contacted me after reading my articles: I have established a network with researchers from, for example, Hannover, Christchurch, Melbourne, Ghent, and Hasselt. This has, among other things, led to joint publications and software development. • Researchers from Germany, Australia, and Belgium visited me and/or invited me to visit them; e.g., Prof.dr. Ludiwg Hothorn (Institute of Biostatistics, Hannover), Dr. Yves Rosseel (Ghent University), and Dr. Bernd Weiss (GESIS-Leibniz-Institute for the Social Sciences, Mannheim). • I have been invited to i. present my work 15 times and give 8 workshops at (inter)national universities, research institutes, and conferences (e.g., for three universities in Hannover, at the GESIS-Leibniz- Institute, and the University-Medical-Center-Amsterdam); ii. organize and chair a Bayesian session of ASA-Spring-Methodology-Conference; and iv. be a statistical consultant at The-Hidden-Epidemic-Symposium organized by the Augeo Foundation. Additionally, I visit international conferences, give presentations and workshops, and teach in postgraduate courses. • JASP (via Prof.dr. Eric-Jan Wagenmakers) is in the process of including GORICA. • I have served as a reviewer for 30+ international journals.

After my PhD, I started an independent second research line in the field of modeling lagged relationships. Utrecht University awarded me research time, using NWO Aspasia funding, for working in this area. In 2016, I received the prestigious Veni grant, in which I brought these two research topics together such that researchers can model individually-varying cross-lagged relationships and evaluate their hypotheses regarding these relationships. I am participating in the Dutch-Flemish network group regarding Time Series and Network Dynamics (DynaNet), consisting of psychometricians, statisticians and substantive researchers. My publications are again in prestigious journals: Psychological Methods and Structural Equation Modelling. Also on this topic, I am considered an expert: I receive invitations to presentations and workshops and to supervise PhD- students who have their own funding. I brought/bring both research topics together such that researchers can model individually-varying cross-lagged relationships (with a multivariate multilevel continuous-time model) and evaluate their hypotheses regarding these relationships.

Due to the calls for replications, I recently connected my two research lines with meta-analysis: I developed continuous-time meta-analysis for cross-lagged models to correct for the time-interval dependency of the lagged-estimates (CTmeta; Kuiper and Ryan, 2020; Kuiper, 2020); and applied the GORICA to the resulting overall lagged-estimates (Kuiper, accepted). I notice(d) that a wealth of valuable information remains unexploited. To prevent this from being research waste and thus a waste of money, I will (further) develop, evaluate, and popularized evidence synthesis: the aggregation of support for a central hypothesis. Recently, I also extended the use of the GORIC (e.g., Vanbrabant et al., 2020) and developed GORICA (Kuiper et al., 2020; Altınısık et al., unpublished1), which aids the development of evidence synthesis. Thus, now, it is time for the next step: Use my model selection expertise in aggregating evidence to develop evidence synthesis methods, using GORIC(A) and BMS. This method will harness the combined potential of heterogeneous and homogeneous studies: which increases the power, robustness, and generalizability of findings; and it will render previously inaccessible insights into societal problems. I will apply my newly developed methods with, among others, the following substantive researchers from various fields: Dr. Bernd Weiss and his group in psychology and economics (GESIS-Leibniz-Institute for the Social Sciences in Mannheim), Dr. Matthias Bluemke in managerial psychology (GESIS-Leibniz-Institute for the Social Sciences in Mannheim), Simon Ellerbrock in political science (Mannheim Centre for European Social Research, University of Mannheim), Prof.dr. Peter Kuppens psychology using cross-lagged models (Psychology and Educational Sciences, Leuven University), Prof.dr. Henk Aarts in the field of nudging in social psychology (Psychology Department of Utrecht University), and Prof.dr. Werner Raub and Prof.ir. Vincent Buskens in sociology (Sociology Department, Utrecht University). Furthermore, Prof. Dr. Raub and Prof. Dr. Buskens contacted me for my expertise in aggregating Bayesian evidence. We will be working with Prof. Dr. Klugkist and Lion Behrens on a (applied) sociological and a methodological paper.
