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 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.
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).
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.
ReScience C was created in 2015 by Nicolas Rougier and Konrad Hinsen in the context of the replication crisis of the early 2010s, in which concern about difficulty in replicating (different data or details of method) or reproducing (same data, same method) peer-reviewed, published research papers was widely discussed.

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]
Retraction Watch is a blog that reports on retractions of scientific papers and on related topics. [1] The blog was launched in August 2010 [2] and is produced by science writers Ivan Oransky (Former Vice President, Editorial Medscape) [3] and Adam Marcus (editor of Gastroenterology & Endoscopy News).

Some researchers have identified the publish or perish environment as a contributing factor to the replication crisis. [ 5 ] Successful publications bring attention to scholars and their sponsoring institutions, which can help continued funding and their careers.
