RESEARCH INTEGRITY POLL:
The p-value for the effect on which a paper's claims are founded has been misreported as significant.
Should the paper be retracted, or is it better to publish an erratum correcting the analysis and conclusions?

This is a union led win. A gift for @USSpensions members who are non-unionized, too. Just imagine how much stronger we would be were more people to join.
There is much more work to be done and remember your employer will give you nothing....... 2024 will be difficult for UK HE

= Crowd-sourcing Psychological Science of Effective Altruism =
UG students in my course designed 10-20 charity comparisons that differ on 1 factor to test factors impacting charitable giving.
I combined it & ran 104 charity comparisons with overall interesting findings.

Here's another set of experiments that it took me 15 years to write up.

What's your longest languishing paper that you finally published or still plan to?

A very nice result, could be summarised by ‘A visual illusion that influences perception and action through the dorsal pathway’, see doi.org/10.1038/s42003-019-0…
Pictorial depth cues affect reaching distance... from the depth of the file drawer. Somehow took 15 years to write these experiments up, even though they are sound studies with some pretty interesting findings.
doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsych…
The effect was robust to a range of manipulations, and was also shown by visual form agnosic patient DF, suggesting that this influence of pictorial depth does not depend on visual analyses in the ventral stream.
Pleased to FINALLY publish these experiments, with @AntimoBuonocore, @sebastian_j_ss & @MatthewIveson.
Especially pleased that it is for a Special Issue in honour of the mighty @action_brain

There is no room for publication bias in the evaluation of Registered Reports. Following the case reported by @giladfeldman, we have t/fore taken the step of updating our policy & removing JEP:General from our set of PCI RR-interested journals at @PCI_RegReports
Details below👇
Following this incident, the Managing Board of @PCI_RegReports has removed @APA's Journal of Experimental Psychology: General from our list of PCI RR-interested journals & is launching an updated policy to prevent future cases.
