It doesn't appear in the retraction notice. That gives 4 reasons for the retraction: 2 about preregistration, 1 about HARKing, and "incomplete reporting." www.nature.com/articles/s41...
To me, it feels really sketchy for Nature’s flagship journal to publish such a transparent spin job downplaying a retraction at another Nature family journal. That retraction had little to do with the missing preregistration issue, but you sure wouldn’t know it after reading this article.
Noone ever wants to talk abt the design & inference. They just want to endlessly discuss preregistration not particularly in relation to either of the former. No matter how much we tried to keep the focus on the evidence provided in the study. None of that matters. It's a case of the missing prereg!
The results LOOK pretty replicable? That's not how any of this works and you'd think someone who runs a reproducibility project would know that damn well. Why would Nature close an article with so foolish a comment? www.nature.com/articles/d41...
The problem seems to be that the preregistration issues are the thing everyone wants to focus on but there kind of a red herring that distracts from the real inferential problems that are inherent in the study design.
"The results look pretty replicable. I don’t think the preregistration criticism changes my mind a lot about the paper.” Do people even know how to read? It's maddening that we wrote an MA documenting problems, there are two independent blog posts reporting on further issues & it's prereg all over!
A paper by some of the biggest names in scientific integrity is retracted for issues including misstatements about the research plan.
i have a lil shortcut on my phone that will simulate a coin flip (which is really useful in daily life) and today i figured out how to record the outcome so i can test to see if it's fair i think it'll be fair. preregistration by skeet. materials available upon reasonable request
🔵UniBasel Thursday, 24 October, 16:30-17:30 CEST Topic: Motivations and Obstacles of Preregistration Presenter: Lisa Spitzer Registration: www.eventbrite.com/e/motivation...?
radical proposals re scientific record. 1. PubMed to include data-driven assessment of papers’ technical quality & generalizability, targeting scientists with consistently low scores for training. 2. preregistration 3. validation of findings could be tracked thru network of associated articles.
I've added publications for VIS 2024 to VisPubs.com! (just in time for VIS) The papers include links to preprints, supplemental material, preregistration, and the conference website link.
