tandfonline.com – The Impact of Results Blind Science Publishing on Statistical Consultation and Collaboration

tandfonline.com har udgivet en rapport under søgningen “Teacher Education Mathematics”: Abstract Abstract The author has previously proposed results blind manuscript evaluation (RBME) as a method of ameliorating often cited problems of statistical inference and scientific publication, notably publication bias, overuse/misuse of null hypothesis significance testing (NHST), and irreproducibility of reported scientific results. In RBME, manuscripts submitted to scientific journals are assessed for suitability for publication without regard to their reported results. Criteria for publication are based exclusively on the substantive importance of the research question addressed in the study, conveyed in the Introduction section of the manuscript, and the quality of the methodology, as reported in the Methods section. Practically, this policy is implemented by a two stage process whereby the editor initially distributes only the Introduction and Methods sections… Continue Reading
