@UptonOrwell @JohnHolbein1 Absolutely agree with you, moreover when you have not statistical significant results reviewers always say "rejected paper" although you have written that these results can help yo develop new knowledge and create new models to analyse this trend in the 431 views · 6 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

We think these results help shed light upon not just the "file drawer problem" and persistent bias against publishing null results, but also for the incentives facing researchers who care about their studies reaching the broader public.💡 1K views · 25 likes · 1 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

And it's not just about "noisy null" effects--though there's some variation across study type, the overall effects show that even precisely estimated nulls are disadvantaged relative to studies showing a "statistically significant effect." 1.1K views · 19 likes · 1 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

Compared to "significant effects," null results lead citizens to: --View study as less important --Ask for less info --Be less willing to share it --Think journalists would be less likely to cover the study --See the study as being lower quality & researchers less competent 3.7K views · 28 likes · 3 reposts · 2 replies Open on X →

🧐 What do citizens think about "null results" in scientific research? To find out, @JohnHolbein1 & I fielded a large-scale online experiment. We gave respondents straightforward info about a study, asked them some Qs, showed them the results, then asked them Qs again. https://t. 22.2K views · 100 likes · 36 reposts · 3 replies Open on X →
