Statcheck

 * ... that in 2016, a researcher used the software program Statcheck to scan over 50,000 peer-reviewed psychology articles for statistical errors, and then controversially posted the results on PubPeer? Source: Nature: "Chris Hartgerink...moved the focus from the literature in general to specific papers. He set statcheck to work on more than 50,000 papers, and posted its reports on PubPeer, an online forum in which scientists often dispute papers. That has prompted a sometimes testy debate about how such tools should be used."
 * ALT1:... that the R software program Statcheck was developed by Dutch academics Michèle Nuijten and Sacha Epskamp to detect statistical errors in peer-reviewed psychology articles? Source: PsychOpen: "Statcheck, developed by Sacha Epskamp and Michèle B. Nuijten, is a tool that searches for specific, often crucial, statistical results in research papers (p-values), recalculates them, and determines whether they are consistent with the reported values."

 * I have reworded the first hook a bit and added a new source to support the new hook, as well as a source that I embarrassingly left out when I originally added the ALT1 hook. I would prefer the new original hook that I reworded just now, but I am fine with either one. IntoThinAir (talk) 19:14, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg on the original hook. Explaining that it was controversial should be enough to make it interesting ("why would anyone be against such a collection?" leads to investigating further.) --M asem (t) 21:10, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg From looking at the article, it seems to me that it was not doing the research that was controversial but that posting the results on a public forum was, so I think ALT0 needs rephrasing. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:27, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I have modified the ALT0 hook to try to address this issue. IntoThinAir (talk) 12:44, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
 * That meets my objections. Perhaps can formally approve the revised hook with a tick? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:29, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
