The Guardian’s Science Weekly Podcast feat. statcheck

Posted on by

This week the Guardian’s Science Weekly podcast focuses on statistical malpractice and fraud in science. We talk about the role of statcheck in detecting statistical inconsistencies, and discuss the causes and implications of seemingly innocent rounding errors.

This podcast also offers fascinating insights from consultant anaesthetist John Carlisle about the detection of data fabrication, and president of the Royal Statistical Society David Spiegelhalter about the dangers of statistical malpractice.

Proud to announce that I’ve been shortlisted for the Publon Sentinel Award for my work on statcheck. The Sentinel Award is an award for outstanding advocacy, innovation or contribution to scholarly peer review.

At this point, statcheck is used in the peer review process of two major psychology journals (Psychological Science and the Journal for Experimental Social Psychology) and an increasing number of journals are recommending using statcheck on your own manuscript before submitting it.

For more information about the award and the other great candidates, see this page.
