Daniel Lakens (Eindhoven University of Technology) joins James and Dan to talk meta-analysis.
Here’s what they cover:Daniel’s opinion on the current state of meta-analysis
The benefit of reporting guidelines (even though hardly anyone actually follows them)How fixing publication bias can fix science
Meta-analysis before and after that Bem paperHow to correct for publication bias
Whether meta-analyses are just published for the citationsThe benefits of pre-registering meta-analysis
How we get people to share their dataHow sharing data doesn’t just benefit others - it also helps you replicate your own analyses later
Success is tied to funding, no matter how “cheap” your research isHow people can say “yes” to cumulative science, but “no” to sharing data
Responding to mistakesHow to find errors in your own papers before submission
We ask Daniel: i) If he could should one slide to every introductory psychology lecture in the world, what would say?, ii) What has he changed his mind about in the last few years?, iii) The one book/paper he thinks everyone should readDaniel also gives James and Dan ideas for their 50th episode
