- Evaluation of a study from "Sharing of misinformation is habitual, not just lazy or biased" (PNAS | Ceylan, Anderson, & Wood 2023), Replications et al. (2025). Clearer Thinking. Outcome recorded: computational issues, robustness not checked.
Computational: While trying to reproduce the results from the study using the original paper's data and analysis code, we found many different issues. These issues included claims that did not match the provided evidence, statistical results that could be unreliable, group comparisons based on values beyond a scale's possible range, inflated effect sizes due to a statistical artifact, and numbers we could not reproduce with the original data and code.
