I think this effect has been recognized in science for decades, even if it wasn't talked about much in print. Recently I thought about trying to combat this effect myself by using multiple different analysis methods. For example, in my case I'm thinking about trying multiple different regression approaches. My research is in the physical sciences, so I don't think in this case the overall conclusions will be that different because the general trend is clear from a scatter plot (often not true in social science...), but it'll still be an interesting exercise.
