Questioning Some Metascience Assumptions

Mark Rubin, Durham

Abstract

In this presentation, I question some common assumptions in modern metascience. For example, I question whether exploratory research is more “tentative” than confirmatory research and whether questionable research practices such as HARKing (hypothesizing after the results are known) and undisclosed multiple testing are problematic. I discuss these and other metascience assumptions and argue that they may not be as problematic as commonly assumed.
