If you've got an effect, test its significance; if you've got a weak effect, do a meta-analysis
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 21 (2):205-206 (1998)
Abstract
Statistical significance testing has its problems, but so do the alternatives that are proposed; and the alternatives may be both more cumbersome and less informative. Significance tests remain legitimate aspects of the rhetoric of scientific persuasion.My notes
