A really good new site about "p-hacking" and how to detect it http://www.p-curve.com/ http://www.p-curve.com/ is by Uri Simonsohn, a professor of psychology with a better than average understanding of statistics, and colleagues who are concerned about making scientific papers more reliable. You can use the p-curve software on that site for your own investigations into p values found in published research. Many of the issues brought up by the blog post kindly submitted here and the comments that were submitted here before this comment become much more clear after reading Simonsohn's various articles http://opim.wharton.upenn.edu/~uws/ http://opim.wharton.upenn.edu/~uws/ about p values and what they mean, and other aspects of interpreting published scientific research.
