🚨New paper out in AMPPS! proud to be part of this one, another solid product of @improvingpsych.org✨ We mapped the grey zones of psychology’s research culture through a consensus process. Ever wondered, “Wait... is this a questionable practice?” You’re not alone: doi.org/10.1177/2515... #OpenScience

🚨 New study alert! We're excited to share our "Bestiary of Questionable Research Practices in Psychology" in #AMPPS. We tackle the credibility crisis in research by defining, collecting, and categorizing QRPs using a community consensus method. 🧵#OpenScience #QRPs @psychscience.bsky.social

😮‍💨But there's hope! Our study highlights key preventive measures to avoid QRPs: transparent reporting, preregistration, blind data analysis, following best practices, and performing robustness checks. These foster research integrity!

⚡Why should we care? QRPs pose a substantial threat to scientific conduct and quality. They can lead to biased statistical error rates, reduced replicability & reproducibility, biased effect size estimates, and inflated credibility, undermining research trustworthiness.

Tamás Nagy @nagyt.bsky.social · 11/07/2025

🕵️How detectable are QRPs? Our study identified 18 QRPs detectable directly from a publication📰, while 19 more need supplementary info like preregistration or open data. We found 97 unique clues🔍! This info can serve as a checklist for human reviewers & prompts for AI risk assessment.

Tamás Nagy @nagyt.bsky.social · 11/07/2025

☂️To bring clarity, we introduced "QRP umbrella terms" that group conceptually related QRPs. For example, #Phacking 🪓consists of 13 specific QRPs, and #CherryPicking 🍒covers 7. This disaggregation helps pinpoint specific behaviors.

Tamás Nagy @nagyt.bsky.social · 11/07/2025

🧑‍🔬We collected and categorized 40 distinct QRPs for quantitative research in psychology, spanning all stages of the scientific enterprise from planning to publication. Many of these QRPs were previously unlisted, despite being recognized (e.g., visualizing data in a misleading way 📊).

Tamás Nagy @nagyt.bsky.social · 11/07/2025

❓So, what are QRPs? Our community consensus study agreed on this definition: "Ways of producing, maintaining, sharing, analyzing, or interpreting data that are likely to produce misleading conclusions, typically in the interest of the researcher". Crucially, they don't include fraud or random error.

People are often surprised to learn they can design a study where you look at the data twice (a sequential design) at no cost (because the alpha correction is so small, there is no increase in the sample size). To learn how, see lakens.github.io/statistical_...
