The Study


Objectives of the project
In the first part of the study, we held interviews with representatives of several stakeholder groups from within the science system: researchers, editors, lecturers of statistics classes and funding agencies. The results of these interviews served as input for focus groups with the same groups of stakeholders. In the focus groups, alternatives to null hypothesis significance testing were further explored and concretized.
In the second part of the research, a search conferences was held in which researchers discussed strategies to change current ubiquitous use of NHST in science and higher education.
