AI synopsis

What people are saying

Overall, the discussions show a strong consensus that p-hacking is a pervasive problem in science, with many references to its potential to distort findings, such as calls to 'just say no' and explanations of how data manipulation occurs; the tone is serious and investigative, emphasizing both the importance and the need for awareness of issues like the replication crisis.

AgreementStrong agreement

Many discussions acknowledge the serious issue of p-hacking and its role in scientific problems, indicating strong support for the importance of the article.

InterestHigh interest

Social discussions reflect high curiosity and concern, referencing concepts like the 'replication crisis' and urging more awareness and action.

EngagementHigh engagement

Posts actively engage with the topic through retweets, sharing related resources, and debating the implications, showing deep involvement.

ImpactModerate impact

Discussions highlight the widespread influence of p-hacking on research integrity, though some comments suggest the effect might be less destructive than feared.

Abstract in brief

  • The text discusses how "phacking," or manipulating data and analyses until statistically nonsignificant results appear significant, introduces bias into scientific research, especially emphasizing the focus on confirmatory tests.
  • Using textmining, the authors show that phacking is widespread across scientific fields, but their analysis indicates that its impact on overall research findings is relatively small compared to actual effect sizes.
  • They also demonstrate a method to detect phacking in meta-analyses, concluding that although it is common, its influence does not drastically distort scientific consensus derived from combined studies.]

P-hacking (https://t.co/bYUcLhLnis) – or data dredging – is a problem in science as results can be manipulated to confirm an existing bias, or to make an article more likely to be printed in an academic journal.

@PhD_femme It's not logistically difficult, but it's emotionally difficult, is my guess. P-hacking and skewing negative to false positives is surprisingly common (https://t.co/9cGKsl38w4).

from Head et al. (2015) "The Extent and Consequences of P-Hacking in Science", 10.1371/journal.pbio.1002106 . Highly recommended. 3/3

Das Ausmaß von p-Hacking kann man schätzen - denn in dem Fall steigt der Anteil signifikanter Ergebnisse verdächtig über das erwartete Maß an. Das machen z.B. Head und Kollegen 2015 und kommen zu dem Schluss, dass p-Hacking verbreitet ist, aber https://t.co/rVUqqJIelY

@KazemiAlex @psirides @davidjvaughan @JAMA_current @JBraithwaite1 Confidence intervals are the way to avoid the simple dichotomy of P<0.5! And anyway, the humble p value is still useful; it’s p-hacking https://t.co/DVDqJ9s7m5 that give the often elegant p value a bad name! Furthermore, most of this arises from poor design rather than malice!
