Roberts (2020, Learning & Behavior, 48[2], 191-192) discussed research claiming honeybees can do arithmetic. Some readers of this research might regard such claims as unlikely. The present authors used this example as a basis for a debate on the criterion that ought to be used for publication of results or conclusions that could be viewed as unlikely by a significant number of readers, editors, or reviewers.
罗伯茨(2020 年,《学习与行为》,48[2],191-192)讨论了一项声称蜜蜂可以进行算术运算的研究。这项研究的一些读者可能认为这样的说法不太可能。本文作者以这个例子为基础,就一个标准展开了辩论,这个标准应该用于发表那些可能被相当多的读者、编辑或审稿人认为不太可能的结果或结论。
