The current rise of far-right movements and parties is accompanied by an increase in antidemocratic and extremist positions. Adequately capturing developments in derogatory attitudes is a multi-facetted issue. This article collection offers a platform and spark discussions about this pressing topic.

An analysis of 178 panel studies highlights persistent incentives toward selective reporting and ad-hoc hypothesis formulation (potential HARKing). The results raise concerns about ongoing publication bias in the social, behavioral, and economic sciences.

An analysis of 178 studies submitted to major German panels reveals persistent publication bias in science—but also factors that reduce its risk.
Experimental study design, third-party funding, and preregistration of hypotheses stand out as key predictors of lower publication bias.
