From January 2014, Psychological Science introduced new submission guidelines
that encouraged the use of effect sizes, estimation, and meta-analysis (the "new
statistics"), required extra detail of methods, and offered badges for use of
open science practices. We investigated the use of these practices in empirical
articles published by Psychological Science and, for comparison, by the Journal
of Experimental Psychology: General, during the period of January 2013 to
December 2015. The use of null hypothesis significance testing (NHST) was
extremely high at all times and in both journals. In Psychological Science, the
use of confidence intervals increased markedly overall, from 28% of articles in
2013 to 70% in 2015, as did the availability of open data (3 to 39%) and open
materials (7 to 31%). The other journal showed smaller or much smaller changes.
Our findings suggest that journal-specific submission guidelines may encourage
desirable changes in authors' practices.
