I really dislike the proposal to change the significance threshold from 0.05 to 0.005. There's no principled difference, it's just a number, & it's asking to (eventually) have similar problems. Better solutions are needed, based on a different experimental paradigm.https://twitter.com/JPdeRuiter/status/1046058507500441601 …

People are often a bit scared of lowering alpha to .005 (see https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-017-0189-z …), but if you have a real effect, it is easier to obtain than you might think. See http://rpsychologist.com/d3/pdist/ pic.twitter.com/icRbuJ9g8f

  It seems like it would be an effective attack on the file drawer problem for human subjects research, though it wouldn’t help with many other issues.

  considering reproduction in Impact Factor. Reproduction of study by another group adds multiplier to citation count and a % of cit count is given to reproducers. The more reproduced the study, the less % to new reproducers to avoid parasiting well cited papers.

  Sometimes when gaps need stopped, only a stopgap will do. p=0.005 would increase my confidence in n=5 mouse studies enormously, & I read a lot of types of papers.
