Basic and Applied Social Psychology (BASP) is a Bi-Monthly psychology journal published by Taylor & Francis. The journal emphasizes the publication of empirical research articles but also publishes literature reviews, criticism, and methodological or theoretical statements spanning the entire range of social psychological issues.
In 2014, the journal banned p-values (and related inferential statistics such as confidence intervals) as evidence in papers accepted by the journal, replacing hypothesis testing with "strong descriptive statistics, including effect sizes" on the grounds that "the state of the art [for hypothesis testing] remains uncertain".[1]
In 2016, experimental psychologist Daniel Lakens examined the effect of this choice on a year's output, concluding "With their ban on p-values and confidence intervals, BASP has banned error control." .[2]
