My hypothesis is, that there is a stronger publication bias in psychology journals than in reported clinical trials. And the latter aren't really "publications" in the sense of a peer reviewed, published paper.
There is certainly a publication bias in publishing the results of the clinical studies, but this database registers the trials long before any such publication. And some are never registered.
- RA_Fisher 11y agoI think that's a good hypothesis. It appears the mechanism of registration and reporting helps. I wasn't aware of that process when I started; very much still exploring the database. What do you make of the single hypothesis vs. alternative stuff? That blew my mind.
