    Easier said than done though. If the results are non-significant, that can be due to all sorts of things only one of them being a lack of an actual effect. If your measure is bad/noisy/not well calibrated, your research plan has flaws etc., the sample is too small, ... Most non-significant results are due to bad research and it's hard to identify the other ones. Preregistration and registered reports are some ideas to change that
