Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best practices for decreasing the temptation to falsify data include pre-determining the sample size, reporting all groups and variables assessed in the study, but not selectively reporting only the data that achieved statistical significance. This selective reporting can lead to biased results and does not adhere to the principles of transparency and integrity in research.
