Professor Uri Simonsohn wasn't mentioned in this particular article, but he could have been. He has published several peer-reviewed papers on "p-hacking" and "researcher degrees of freedom" and other tricks that are used (and can be detected after the fact with careful statistical analysis of published papers) to inflate the significance of behavior research results. His faculty website http://opim.wharton.upenn.edu/~uws/ http://opim.wharton.upenn.edu/~uws/ includes links to many of his papers. Not only are Simonsohn's papers a good lesson in how to use statistics to detect sloppy research practices, they are also often laugh-out-loud funny.
