Have you seen any estimates for the accuracy of these measurements?
If ~50% are happy to self-report for some of these, I’d hypothesise the real number is closer to ~90%?

Administration costs have skyrocketed and need to be cut. Most Western Countries have growing debt so I see little chance of increased gov funding.

Thanks for the recommendations.
I wasn’t trying to suggest the entire field is nonsense, but that the majority of the literature is nonsense.

I did too, but I think his comment implies a dualism that doesn’t exist.
The idea that the status quo of 0.05 “stops” researchers from being “too liberal” implies that the conventional 0.05 is a valid demarcation between liberal/conservative rather than being completely arbitrary.

Since 0.05 is essentially arbitrary, who’s to say the status quo isn’t already too liberal?

Just start from the prior assumption that all psych papers are complete nonsense. Saves a lot of time.
Maybe a more positive way of putting this: what is the best psych paper you have read in terms of real effects that are practically useful?

Maybe it needs to be complimented with a Risk of Bullshit index.
The Bullshit Factor (BF) for new preprints can start at 100% and be reduced as reviews/replications/vouches accumulate.

An upside to this utopian system is that once a dodgy researcher/institution was identified, you could ignore all the papers they had vouched.

But in both cases (policy use and systematic reviews), a signal to ignore them via rating system would work, no?
Make all papers start life as a preprint, and then only get published after they are vouched / positively rated (publicly) by others?

Please cure my naïveté: why can’t we just ignore the bullshit papers?
Besides the obvious waste in producing the papers, is the main problem that they clog up database searches? If that is the case, is a ratings system the (an) answer?
