Paper is finally up and open access (www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...), it's a sequel to an earlier paper where we'd argued that there's not good evidence that pre-publication peer review is a net benefit (www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1093/...). So in this one we suggest an alternative.

Hindawi disappeared, I didn’t know. Glad I don’t have papers with them given the reasons they disappeared 😅. Confirms we should think twice before deciding where to publish our work.

Can you make it easier than "the probability of getting results at least as extreme as the ones you observed, given that the null hypothesis is correct"?

A fascinating behind the scenes view of #metascience projects, from the funding side. Like Ruben, I missed it when it came out, but it's well worth a read.

An important point missing from this piece is that it's harder to p-hack one's way to small p-value. Which I think means that even if all that happened is sample size increased and attempts at p-hacking had remained constant, their chance of resulting in headline false results is lower.

The proportion of p-values between .01 and .05 declined in psychology over the last decade, a strengthening of credibility. Papers with fewer fragile p-values are cited more. Higher ranked journals assoc. with > improvement, but not higher ranked universities. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

I am beginning to understand where this common confusion/disagreement comes from (see posts & discussions below). I would love (in a very nerdy way) to read about this confusion somewhere, but no relevant papers seem to have been suggested yet... Maybe you have one for me..? 🙏

When running ANOVAs in #R, use car::Anova(). aov() and anova() use Type I sums of squares, meaning that order matters, which can distort results in unbalanced designs. car::Anova() is safer because it uses Type II sums of squares by default), each effect is adjusted for all the other effects.

I submitted 4 of my latest papers to Physiotherapy Canada because it’s a University Press, supported by the 🇨🇦 PT association @physiocan.bsky.social, & my library said their subscription was cheap. Result: Excellent experience, thorough peer reviews, good reactivity to emails. That’s all I ask for.

Meta-analysis forest plots begin to look too crowded if you're reporting around 50 effect sizes or more. This 'orchard plot' is a really nice alternative for visualising 50+ effect sizes (paper link: doi.org/10.1111/ele....). Can anyone point me to other similar visualisations that they like?

Pet peeve: I hate how often ppl claim “all the researchers will just move to Europe/Canada!” You vastly under-estimate how little money there is there vs the USA- and unless that changes ASAP this loss is just going to decimate global science, full stop. 🧪🔭
