"Over time it appears the p-value has become a gatekeeper for whether work is publishable, at least in some fields," said Jessica Utts, ASA president. The ASA statement is intended to steer research into a 'post p<0.05 era.'" "Well-reasoned statistical arguments contain much more than the value of a single number and whether that number exceeds an arbitrary threshold. "The p-value was never intended to be a substitute for scientific reasoning," said Ron Wasserstein, the ASA's executive director. Good statistical practice is an essential component of good scientific practice, the statement observes, and such practice "emphasizes principles of good study design and conduct, a variety of numerical and graphical summaries of data, understanding of the phenomenon under study, interpretation of results in context, complete reporting and proper logical and quantitative understanding of what data summaries mean."
