No, it is the number of people who met their criteria for improvement. The criteria was much laxer in the 2011 Lancet article than the protocol.Sorry Tom, does the 59% and 61% refer to the amount of improvement in the individual conditions of the people who did improve?
I've never seen this article… PACE 2011 reported 22% each for CBT and GET, no?
Why not contact them - do you know their names ?Retraction Watch interviews two Swedish journalists who made a documentary on the Macchiarini-scandal and by that cracked open the case. Wouldn't it be great if the journalists had a similar go at PACE?
Fiske is referring to a group of people that she sees as dangerous and fanatical. She labels them “terrorists” to suggest that their tactics — publishing criticisms on Twitter and Facebook — are outside of the rules of war that have stood for years in the field of psychological research.
She also calls this loosely-defined group the “self-appointed data police” and argues that their social media activism hurts careers and undermines science. She writes that their conclusions, often published without peer-review, are suspect and that they have so poisoned the climate of psychology as to drive people out of the field. She doesn’t name names.
