Peer review design and p-hacking: evidence from a policy shift to single-blind review
研究了美国经济学会期刊在2011年从双盲转向单盲评审后,作者身份披露是否影响已发表论文中p值操纵的普遍性,发现该政策变化没有显著影响。
Abstract In 2011, the American Economic Association (AEA) changed the peer review policy of its journals, shifting from double-blind to single-blind review. Under the new system, author identities are disclosed to referees, whereas they are formally concealed under double-blind review. This paper finds that this change in the information environment did not affect the prevalence of p-hacking in articles published in the American Economic Review.
