- A Call for Examining Replication and Bias in Special Education Research (2014, methodology): “Using computer simulations, Simmons, Nelson, and Simonsohn (2011) demonstrated that the occurrence of four common types of research bias result in an even higher false positive rate (61%).”
- Don't fear ‘fear conditioning’: Methodological considerations for the design and analysis of studies on human fear acquisition, extinction, and return of fear (2017, positive): “The latter aim is critical in ight of the ongoing debate on ‘undisclosed flexibility in data colection and analysis’ (cf. Simmons et al., 2011).”
- Evidence on the deleterious impact of sustained use of polynomial regression on causal inference (2015, background): “Unfortunately, things do not always work out so well; once researchers know what to expect, they can continue finding it, given all the degrees of freedom available in data processing and analysis (Gelman and Loken, 2014; Simmons et al., 2011).”
- Are bilingual advantages dependent upon specific tasks or specific bilingual experiences? (2014, background): “Simmons, Nelson, and Simonsohn (2011) refer to these as questionable research practices (QRPs) that are, nevertheless, practiced by a substantial number, if not the majority, of research psychologists (John, Lowenstein, & Prelec, 2012).”
- Self-Compassion and Bedtime Procrastination: an Emotion Regulation Perspective (2018, methodology): “Following recommendations made by Simmons et al. (2011), we also conducted the path analyses without any covariates in the model and there were no meaningful differences in the results.”
- Evidence-based policymaking: promise, challenges and opportunities for accounting and financial markets research** (2018, positive): “With discretion, researchers might engage in ‘p-hacking’ or ‘fishing’ by estimating many (reasonable) specifications and selecting those that deliver significant results (e.g. Simmons et al. 2011).”
- Making it moral: Merely labeling an attitude as moral increases its strength (2016, methodology): “This exceeds the rule of thumb provided by Simmons, Nelson, and Simonsohn (2011).”
