p-values

 

You should report p-values as exact figures (e.g. p = 0.043), not inequalities (e.g. p < .05) unless the value is less than .001. You should explain which significance threshold you used in the methods section (e.g. "The significance threshold was .05"). Every p-value should be accompanied by its test statistic and a measure of precision, typically the 95% confidence interval
