Ericsson & Simon (1980) Verbal reports as data.

8671 citations, and its impact and 'citation coverage' could be higher.

I guess he did. Or at least he wrote a positive review of *Betrayers of the Truth*, a 1982 book about the ubiquity of fraud and manipulation in science.

In case on detecting p-hacking, you might look at this: bsky.app/profile/free...
I’ve developed a new method for detecting publication bias in heterogeneous effects, with initial tests showing it outperforms existing approaches.

Likelihood Ratio Test for Publication Bias: Proof of Concept
Publication bias is a serious challenge to the integrity of scientific research and meta-analyses. And this article proposes a new method for estimating it.

This is especially true considering that the "Dunning-Kruger effect" was merely an analytic error on the part of the authors, not a real effect. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
The Dunning-Kruger effect is (mostly) a statistical artefact: Valid approaches to testing the hypothesis with individual differences data
The Dunning-Kruger hypothesis states that the degree to which people can estimate their ability accurately depends, in part, upon possessing the abili…

Thanks! I did not read this paper carefully, but have similar feeling, that this paper is published because of UCL in affiliation, not value of analysis itself.

How do you know it's p-hacked?

(2) My 2024 article with Chris Donkin, in which we consider the advantages and disadvantages of confirmatory and exploratory hypothesis tests and conclude that exploratory tests can be more compelling than confirmatory tests.

What about revealing reviewers identities, when paper is not published?

Why USA, but not just Florida?

Last lobotomy was performed at least in 80', not in 1967.

I tried prove that you are not correct, but Chat GPT went wrong immediately (lol).

Are you really sure about that?

In 2 month, there should be update and final draft :)

Yes, it's good for a significance test if there is a bias, but it's pretty bad at estimating it.

Exactly!
I do not compare yet! I had to take a break from my academic work to earn a living.

Here is the LRBT. It is a method that I developed, and it has not been published yet. The final draft will probably be ready in two months. freestylerscientist.pl/projects/lik...

Both z-curve and LRBT (second link) do exactly that, the third method would be caliper test

The problem with p-curve is also that "implausible patterns arising from bias", is not as unplausible (it relies heavily on assumption that original data in analysed studies are normally distributed)
