This is so very teal dear (it is probably longer than the paper) but that is probably to be expected on my journal at this point!

Psychology's currently at the center of an ongoing debate in some scientific circles about just how crappy a lot of published research is - it has the snappy name of the Replication Crisis. Psychology's not the only field with the problem, but it's got a lot of the most blatant examples. (Unfortunately, this does not seem to have done anything to stop the press from going nuts on any study that appears to confirm existing biases. :/)
