The project has brought attention to the replication crisis, and has contributed to shifts in scientific culture and publishing practices to address it. [3] The project was led by the Center for Open Science and its co-founder, Brian Nosek, who started the project in November 2011. [4]
The replication crisis [a] is an ongoing methodological crisis in which the results of many scientific studies are difficult or impossible to reproduce. Because the reproducibility of empirical results is an essential part of the scientific method , [ 2 ] such failures undermine the credibility of theories building on them and potentially call ...
The replication crisis (or credibility crisis) is a methodological crisis in science that researchers began to acknowledge around the 2010s. The controversy revolves around the lack of reproducibility of many scientific findings, including those in psychology (e.g., among 100 studies, less than 50% of the findings were replicated).
Reproducibility, closely related to replicability and repeatability, is a major principle underpinning the scientific method.For the findings of a study to be reproducible means that results obtained by an experiment or an observational study or in a statistical analysis of a data set should be achieved again with a high degree of reliability when the study is replicated.
The growth of metascience and the recognition of a scientific replication crisis have bolstered the paper's credibility, and led to calls for methodological reforms in scientific research. [8] [9] In commentaries and technical responses, statisticians Goodman and Greenland identified several weaknesses in Ioannidis' model.
The Open Science Framework (OSF) is an open source software project that facilitates open collaboration in science research. The framework was initially used to work on a project in the reproducibility of psychology research, [ 11 ] [ 12 ] but has subsequently become multidisciplinary. [ 13 ]
Example of direct replication and conceptual replication. There are two main types of replication in statistics. First, there is a type called “exact replication” (also called "direct replication"), which involves repeating the study as closely as possible to the original to see whether the original results can be precisely reproduced. [3]
Due to the high cost of the apparatus and the lack of incentives, most experiences were not reproduced by contemporary researchers: even a committed proponent of experimentalism like Robert Doyle had to devolve to a form of virtual experimentalism, by describing in detail a research design that has only been run once [27] For Friedrich Steinle ...
