There are actually two points to this post: (1) There appears to be attempts to systematically track whether published research is replicated, successfully or not. One major reason for this is the realization that there is significant false positive rate/publication bias. This, of course, has a major impact on doing an unbiased meta-analysis. As mentioned in previous posts, decline effects (i.e., initial significant results but replications with decreasing effect sizes until null results are continually obtained) also are being better appreciated. A replication database will help in tracking these phenomena and may turn up other interesting or surprising results. For one paper on this, see: http://www.frontiersin.org/computational_neuroscience/10.3389/fncom.2012.00008/abstract
(2) In reading the article cited above I was surprised to learn that there was something called Google forms which appears to operate like a survey program, perhaps like survverymonkey. Has anyone used it? Here's a link to the Google forms webpage: http://www.google.com/google-d-s/forms/ Apparently, there are videos on YouTube showing how to use forms. -Mike Palij New York University [email protected] --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
