Message: <blockquote data-quote="A Man Called Charolais" data-source="post: 70217">Well, Wikipedia says it's an ongoing crisis.  Since Wikipedia isn't far right I suppose you accept it as a credible source.'The replication crisis (also called the replicability crisis and the reproducibility crisis) is an ongoing <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methodological" target="_blank">methodological</a> crisis in which the results of many scientific studies are difficult or impossible to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reproducibility" target="_blank">reproduce</a>. Because the reproducibility of empirical results is an essential part of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_method" target="_blank">scientific method</a>,<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_crisis#cite_note-2" target="_blank">[2]</a> such failures undermine the credibility of theories building on them and potentially call into question substantial parts of scientific knowledge.The replication crisis is frequently discussed in relation to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychology" target="_blank">psychology</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medicine" target="_blank">medicine</a>, where considerable efforts have been undertaken to reinvestigate classic results, to determine whether they are reliable, and if they turn out not to be, the reasons for the failure.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_crisis#cite_note-3" target="_blank">[3]</a><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_crisis#cite_note-4" target="_blank">[4]</a> Data strongly indicates that other <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_science" target="_blank">natural</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_sciences" target="_blank">social sciences</a> are affected as well.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_crisis#cite_note-Nature_5-25-2016-5" target="_blank">[5]</a>The phrase replication crisis was coined in the early 2010s<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_crisis#cite_note-6" target="_blank">[6]</a> as part of a growing awareness of the problem. Considerations of causes and remedies have given rise to a new scientific discipline, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metascience" target="_blank">metascience</a>,<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_crisis#cite_note-7" target="_blank">[7]</a> which uses methods of empirical research to examine empirical research practice.Considerations about reproducibility fall into two categories. Reproducibility in the narrow sense refers to re-examining and validating the analysis of a given set of data. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_(statistics)" target="_blank">Replication</a> refers to repeating the experiment or study to obtain new, independent data with the goal of reaching the same or similar conclusions.'<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_crisis" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_crisis</a>From your link:'P-hacking is generally thought of as cheating, but what if we made it compulsory instead? If the purpose of studies is to push the frontiers of knowledge, then perhaps playing around with different methods shouldn’t be thought of as a dirty trick, but encouraged as a way of exploring boundaries.'<a href="https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/science-isnt-broken/" target="_blank">https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/science-isnt-broken/</a></blockquote>
