Thank you for this piece and especially for your reference to Abadie's article. P-hacking has been written up in the sciences and now in social sciences. The question is what happens now. Perhaps, the beginning of a change? Have not seen it yet. Not only do editors want to publish papers with significant results, but typically papers whose results are consistent with current paradigms.
All the more reason why studies that are well designed with good data but which lack significance should not be ignored.
