title: It Does Not Follow: Evaluating the One-Off Publication Bias Critiques by Francis (2012a, 2012b, 2012c, 2012d, 2012e, in press).
abstract: Francis (2012a, 2012b, 2012c, 2012d, 2012e, in press) attacks individual papers through critiques that apply faulty logic to analyses ironically biased by cherry picking. However well intentioned, the critiques are probably counterproductive to their stipulated goal and certainly unfair to the targeted authors.
