present @ 37 a lot
of blather from this wide - ranging
study but fails to spot the
main finding germane to the issue at hand.
More specifically, we (a) examined whether non-significant results were omitted disproportionately in the climate change literature, (b) if there were particular trends
of unexpected and abrupt changes in the number
of published
studies and reported effects in relation to IPCC 2007 and Climategate, (c) whether effects
presented in the abstracts were significantly larger than those reported in the
main body
of reports, and (d) how
findings from these first three tests related to the impact factor
of journals.
