OFF TOPIC: Nature article on File Drawer Problem in Reserach
Just to remark that the R community hs been active in developing software in this area. The CRAN Task View has almost twenty packages claiming to address the problem under various names. https://cran.r-project.org/view=MetaAnalysis Whether the methods work has also been the topic of discussion on the mailing list dedicated to meta-analysis and interested readers may want to search its archives https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-meta-analysis/ Michael

I know you didn't want to stimulate discussion, but the problem is not confined to publication.? "Adverse reaction to medication" monitoring programs are plagued by a similarly massive under-reporting problem: adverse reactions are seldom reported unless they are particularly bad or surprising.? (The Ministry of Health in my country estimates 90% of cases are never reported.)? Remembering to check for possible bias from unreported cases is a human problem for analysts.? Which, if any, R packages have proven useful to detecting the existence of a systematic under-reporting problem might well be an appropriate topic for this list.

Again, this is off topic, not about statistics or R, but I think of interest to many on this list. The title is: "So you got a null result. Will anyone publish it?" https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-02383-9 Best to all, Bert
