SYNERGISTIC ACTIVITIES

Together with Bobbie Spellman (Univ of Virginia), Alex Holcombe (Univ of Sydney) and Sean Kang (UCSD) I have created a website called www.PsychFileDrawer.org designed to combat the File Drawer Problem (failure to publish negative results, producing a misleading scientific literature), which just entered beta testing.

In collaboration with Alex Holcombe (Univ of Sydney) I am developing a collaborative tool for scientific debate (www. EvidenceChart.org) designed to facilitate quicker and clearer understanding of critical results in the literature and their relationship to competing theories.
