7.14 Beyond P-Hacking: Combating Academic Misconduct at the Theoretical Level

Sat, October 13, 1:45 to 3:00pm, Hilton Anatole, Rosetta

Session Submission Type: Forum

Session Overview

Consumer researchers are increasingly concerned about biased data reporting (e.g., p-hacking). We highlight another method of misconduct-purposefully omitting research from a paper's conceptual development-which we term theory hacking (t-hacking). Our roundtable assembles journal editors to discuss t-hacking's pervasiveness, real or perceived effect on scholarship, and possible solutions.
