研究成果的短期和快速出版有许多好处。然而，硬币的另一面需要仔细考虑。我们认为，转向“一口大小”出版的最危险的方面是研究规模和出版偏见之间的关系。基于单一研究或基于有限样本量的研究的结果更有可能是假阳性，因为假阳性率保持不变，而真阳性率（功效）随着样本量的下降而下降。对生产力和新奇价值的压力进一步加剧了这一问题。
Short and rapid publication of research findings has many advantages. However, there is another side of the coin that needs careful consideration. We argue that the most dangerous aspect of a shift toward "bite-size" publishing is the relationship between study size and publication bias. Findings based on a single study or a study based on a limited sample size are more likely to be false positive, because the false positive rate remains constant, whereas the true positive rate (the power) declines as sample size declines. Pressure on productivity and on novelty value further exacerbates the problem.
