Classification of research reports published in The Journal of Neuroscience, vol. 38, issues 1–3, 2018, identified by page range (n = 52). An x denotes that the paper was classified in this category. Categories were: Hyp-E: at least one hypothesis was fairly explicitly stated; Hyp-I: at least one hypothesis could be inferred from the logical organization of the paper and its conclusions, but was not explicitly stated; Alt-Hyp: at least one alternative hypothesis in addition to the main one was tested; # Tests: is an estimate of the number of experiments that critically tested the major (not subsidiary or other) hypothesis; Support: the tests were consistent with the main hypothesis; Reject: at least some tests explicitly falsified at least one hypothesis; Disc: a largely “discovery science” report, not obviously hypothesis-based; Ques: experiments attempted to answer a series of questions, not unambiguously hypothesis-based; Comp: mainly a computational modeling study, experimental data were largely material for model.
