Main objective of the Estimating replicability of Polish psychology project, the conduct of preregistered analyses of the impact that the evaluation process could have on "publish or perish culture". This concept is operationalized as a tendency toward publishing more, but less reliable results due to selective reporting, harking, and other strategies that result in publication bias.
To fill a persistent gap in empirical evidence of causal relations between incentives, and it’s potential effects of reliability of scientific results, we use quasi-experimental approach to evaluate change of public policy on scientific policy of Polish government.
To measure publication bias we use Z-Curve method, and a new method, called Likelihood Ratio Test for Publication Bias, developed during the project. As a result, our research, provide many empirical insides on how publication pattern changed due to changing institutional environment, and new metaanalitical tools for purpose of new researches.
