• Resumen

  • There is a growing acknowledgment that some research findings in fields as diverse as medicine and psychology may not be replicable. There are many reasons for this, including a reliance on small sample sizes, and retroactive choice of data to analyze. It has become clear that the traditional measure of statistical significance (p < 0.05) is not enough to support research claims. In this editorial I discuss the background and some possible solutions.
