New Psych Science Guidelines

[Marco Tullio Liuzza]

http://www.psychologicalscience.org/index.php/publications/journals/psychological_science/ps-submissions

"In 2014, the submission guidelines for Psychological Science will
undergo some major changes meant to increase transparency of the
research process and help address issues of replicability. The new
initiatives include changes in the word limits of articles and in the
ways articles are evaluated by reviewers. Authors will be asked to
report information about their data-collection practices and will be
encouraged to move away from null-hypothesis significance testing and
toward the use of "new statistics." A new system will be implemented
that denotes articles for which data, materials, or preregistered
research plans are publicly available"

I believe this can be a very important step in psychological research
and I would suggest to deepen what this is about. In particular, I
think we should get prepared to face the challenge of the "new
statistics", to overcome all the flaws that undermine the classical
Null Hypothesis Statistical Testing (see the attachment, thanks Giusi
for spotting it out).

Best,
MTL
