Research Practices That Can Prevent an Inflation of False-Positive Rates

Recent studies have indicated that research practices in psychology may be susceptible to factors that increase false-positive rates, raising concerns about the possible prevalence of false-positive findings. The present article discusses several …

Reviewer Bias Against Replication Research

Social science journal reviewers (N=8) responded to questionnaires regarding their reviewing history, and attitudes towards and perception of replication studies. Results indicate that reviewers are biased against replication studies and toward …

Scientific apophenia in strategic management research: Significance tests & mistaken inference

This article uses distributional matching and posterior predictive checks to estimate the extent of false and inflated findings in empirical research on strategic management. Based on a sample of 300 papers in top outlets for research on strategic …

Scientific Utopia: I. Opening Scientific Communication

Existing norms for scientific communication are rooted in anachronistic practices of bygone eras making them needlessly inefficient. We outline a path that moves away from the existing model of scientific communication to improve the efficiency in …
