The Soal-Goldney Experiments with Basil Shackleton: New Evidence of Data Manipulation, Betty Markwick's 1978 paper in the Proceedings of the Society for Psychical Research, is the peer reviewed statistical analysis that exposed data manipulation in S. G. Soal and K. M. Goldney's earlier parapsychology experiments with medium Basil Shackleton. Markwick's authority rests on her detailed statistical reanalysis of the original data, published through the same learned society that had reported the original results, allowing direct comparison. Its limit is that it examines this specific experimental series, not parapsychology research generally. Cite it for this documented case of exposed data manipulation.
