Quantitative procedures for computing the tolerance for filed and future null results are reported and illustrated, and the implications are discussed.
Psychological ScienceFalse-Positive Psychology
6,712 Citations2011Joseph P. Simmons, Leif D. Nelson +1 more
It is shown that despite empirical psychologists’ nominal endorsement of a low rate of false-positive findings, flexibility in data collection, analysis, and reporting dramatically increases actual false- positive rates, and a simple, low-cost, and straightforwardly effective disclosure-based solution is suggested.
Psychological ScienceMeasuring the Prevalence of Questionable Research Practices With Incentives for Truth Telling
2,333 Citations2012Leslie K. John, George Loewenstein +1 more
It is found that the percentage of respondents who have engaged in questionable practices was surprisingly high, which suggests that some questionable practices may constitute the prevailing research norm.
SciencePublication bias in the social sciences: Unlocking the file drawer
1,592 Citations2014Annie Franco, Neil Malhotra +1 more
Fully half of peer-reviewed and implemented social science experiments are not published, providing direct evidence of publication bias and identifying the stage of research production at which publication bias occurs: Authors do not write up and submit null findings.
Perspectives on Psychological ScienceScientific Utopia
1,336 Citations2012Brian A. Nosek, Jeffrey R. Spies +1 more
Strategies for improving scientific practices and knowledge accumulation are developed that account for ordinary human motivations and biases and can reduce the persistence of false findings.
Perspectives on Psychological ScienceAn Agenda for Purely Confirmatory Research
1,136 Citations2012Eric‐Jan Wagenmakers, Ruud Wetzels +3 more
This article proposes that researchers preregister their studies and indicate in advance the analyses they intend to conduct, and proposes that only these analyses deserve the label “confirmatory,” and only for these analyses are the common statistical tests valid.

ScienceReproducibility
297 Citations2014Marcia McNutt
Authors will indicate whether there was a pre-experimental plan for data handling, whether they conducted a sample size estimation to ensure a sufficient signal-to-noise ratio, whether samples were treated randomly, and whether the experimenter was blind to the conduct of the experiment.
