[117] The Impersonator: The Fake Data Were Coming From Inside the Lab

Posted on June 12, 2024June 13, 2024 by Uri Simonsohn

A previous version of this post was supposed to go live in January 2019. But the day before it was scheduled, the Data Colada team (Uri, Leif, and Joe) received an email that we took to be a potential death threat. After discussions with the local police, the FBI, and our families, we decided to…

[116] Our (First?) Day In Court

Posted on May 8, 2024May 7, 2024 by Leif Joe and Uri

“Any update on the lawsuit?” That is the most common question any of us is asked.

Posted on November 13, 2023November 13, 2023 by Uri Simonsohn

Pre-registration is the best and possibly only solution to p-hacking. Ten years ago, pre-registrations were virtually unheard of in psychology, but they have become increasingly common since then. I was curious just how common they have become, and so I collected some data. This post shares the results. The data From the Web of Science…

[113] Data Litigada: Thank You (And An Update)

Posted on September 1, 2023August 31, 2023 by Uri, Joe, & Leif

Thank You A few months ago we reported evidence of data tampering in four papers that have since been retracted (or re-retracted) (Colada[109] .htm). A few weeks ago we were sued for doing so (Vox .htm). Lawsuits can be very expensive, and a thoughtful and generous group of colleagues and supporters started a fundraising campaign…

Posted on June 30, 2023June 30, 2023 by Uri, Joe, & Leif

This is the last post in a four-part series detailing evidence of fraud in four academic papers co-authored by Harvard Business School Professor Francesca Gino. It is worth reiterating two things.

This is the introduction to a four-part series of posts detailing evidence of fraud in four academic papers co-authored by Harvard Business School Professor Francesca Gino.

Microsoft has been making daily copies of the entire CRAN website of R packages since 2014. This archive, named MRAN, allows installing older versions of packages, which is valuable for reproducibility purposes. The 15,000+ R packages on CRAN are incessantly updated.
