I’m reblogging reader commentaries on my editorial, “The statistics wars and intellectual conflicts of interest“. 3 are published in Conservation Biology; a 4th, by Lakens, is in the Journal of the International Society of Physiotherapy. This post was first published on May 15, 2022. Thus, “soon to be” refers to the past. Share your remarks in the comments.

A commentary by Lakens will appear in the psychology journal that adopted the “abandon significance” recommendation discussed in my editorial. (See this post for a link.) Others may appear as letters or part of longer papers elsewhere. I will update this blog once I have that information. I’m very impressed with these interesting, interdisciplinary efforts, and grateful to all the authors for pursuing them.
