Should we be taking the p (value) out of statistics?

In February 2014, the new editor of Basic and Applied Social Psychology (BASP) announced to the readership in his first editorial that the use of inferential statisticsa would no longer be a requirement for publication in that journal.1 A year later this was followed by the statement in a further editorial that after a "grace period" the journal was banning the publication of test statistics, such as p-values,2 and manuscripts would be sent on to review only once all the "vestiges" of inferential statistics had been removed.
