Scientific rigor proponents retract paper on benefits of scientific rigor
“Editors no longer have confidence in the reliability of the findings and conclusions reported in this article,” the journal said in a retraction note published yesterday.
“The concerns relate to lack of transparency and misstatement of the hypotheses and predictions the reported metastudy was designed to test; lack of preregistration for measures and analyses supporting the titular claim (against statements asserting preregistration in the published article); selection of outcome measures and analyses with knowledge of the data; and incomplete reporting of data and analyses,” the note says.
