Dan and James are joined by Michèle Nuijten (Tilburg University) to discuss 'statcheck', an algorithm that automatically scans papers for statistical tests, recomputes p-values, and flags inconsistencies.

  • Psychological Science’s pilot of statcheck for journal submissions
  • Detecting data fraud
  • When should a journal issue a correction?
  • Future plans for statcheck
  • The one thing Michèle thinks that everyone else thinks is crazy
  • Michèle's most worthwhile career investment
  • The one paper that Michèle thinks everyone should read
