Table 1 of the "False-positive psychology" paper (Simmons, Nelson & Simonsohn 2011, https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2916240) estimate the false-positive rate of some questionable #ResearchPractices, both alone and in combination (see attached figure).
I remember reading somewhere that the authors later stated that the numbers were inaccurate and should have been somewhat higher. Does anyone have a reference for this? #FalsePositivePsychology #QRP #phacking #HARKing #ReproducibiliTea

The New York Times: "Questions about a widely cited paper are the latest to be raised about methods used in #behavioral research."

This is the third in a four-part series of posts detailing evidence of fraud in four academic papers co-authored by Harvard Business School Professor Francesca Gino.

@tedpavlic I'm sure it's not the intention - indeed they add a cautionary note - but this kind of advice leads to HARKing & other questionable research practices that massage research into a neat narrative.
It's the antithesis of #OpenScience practices like #RegisteredReports. You should start with a research question, a summary of what is known, & then the methods. Post-hoc theorising must be declared. It keeps you honest.
