Two publications have argued for a redefinition of statistical significance as 0.005 or justification of the alpha value. They highlight the dilemma where scientists do not adopt recommendations due to lack of standardization, leading to the recommendation not becoming standard. The authors suggest that journals and preregistration platforms should mandate alpha-level statements.
Two publications have called for the redefinition of statistical significance as 0.005, or justification of the alpha. We argue that these papers expose a vicious cycle: scientists do not adopt recommendations because they are not standard, and they are not standard because few scientists adopt them. We call on journals and preregistration platforms to mandate alpha-level statements.
