I understand JPSP refuses to accept studies that attempted to replicate the controversial Bem study of precognition?! My opinion of this journal is sinking fast. Is refusal to accept replications typical of APA journals, Psych journals, or other (supposed) scientific journals? We preach the importance of replication in class, but it does not appear to be actually practiced. Often, exciting or popularized work makes it into texts, but careful review shows weak effects and little or no replication. Perhaps some of our journals are best understood as entertainment magazines promoting soon-to-be marketed books and conference tours.
