Data Analysis (psci-data-analysis)

Psychological Science holds analyses to high credibility standards: effect sizes with confidence intervals for major results, full disclosure of how the data were handled, and a clean confirmatory vs. exploratory separation. Analysis scripts and data are shared and can be checked.

When to trigger

• Running and reporting the main and supporting analyses
• A reviewer asked for effect sizes, intervals, robustness, or disclosure
• Reconciling preregistered analyses with exploratory follow-ups
• Preparing analysis scripts and a data dictionary for deposit
