  • Two recent reviews in crime and justice suggest that weaker research designs might lead to more positive outcomes.

    “While the biases in quasiexperimental research are not clear (e.g., Campbell & Boruch, 1975; Wilkinson & Task Force on Statistical Inference, 1999), two recent reviews in crime and justice suggest that weaker research designs might lead to more positive outcomes (e.g., see Weisburd, Lum, & Petrosino, 2001; Welsh, Peel, Farrington, Elffers, & Braga, 2011).”

  • Recent reviews in crime and justice suggest that weaker research designs often lead to more positive outcomes, and there is evidence that nonexperimental designs in crime and justice are likely to overstate outcomes compared with randomized experiments.

    “recent reviews in crime and justice suggest that weaker research designs often lead to more positive outcomes (e.g. see Weisburd, Lum, and Petrosino 2001; Welsh et al. 2011).”

  • Stronger effects of physical activity interventions on internalizing problems in quasi-experimental studies may be explained by larger biases and less rigorous designs of quasi-experimental studies compared to RCTs.

    “The findings of stronger effects of physical activity interventions on internalizing problems in quasi-experimental studies may be explained by larger biases and less rigorous designs of quasiexperimental studies compared to RCT-studies”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
