Building a Better Psychological Science: Good Data Practices and Replicability

Friday, May 24, 2013, 1:00 PM – 5:50 PM

Psychological science has come of age. But the rights of a mature discipline carry with it responsibilities: to maximize confidence in our findings through good data practice and replication while simultaneously ensuring that funding sources and publication outlets support best practice. As we stand at the cross-road, leaders are proposing a road map.

For more on issues of replicability, see the November issue of Perspectives on Psychological Science:
“Special Section on Replicability in Psychological Science: A Crisis of Confidence?”
