Follow the argument where it leads: Simonsohn’s criticisms on publication bias critiques are unfounded
نویسنده
چکیده
Simonsohn (2012) argued that my recent publication bias critiques (Francis, 2012a,b,c,d,e,f, in press) are invalid. We both investigate consistency within a set of reported statistical findings to determine whether reported data are valid. Simonsohn recently analyzed cases where authors appeared to be fraudulently manipulating their data (Yong, 2012a,b), while I have focused on cases where publication bias appears to contaminate a set of experimental results (which can happen for a variety of reasons other than fraud).
