Social Science Research: A Crisis of Replicability

A large study found about 50% of social science research findings are hard to repeat. Data sharing could help fix this problem.

A major study tested nearly 3,900 social science papers and found that about half of the results could not be repeated by other researchers. This is a big problem for trusting science.

This symposium at Brown highlights a shift: AI, community-centered research, and new publishing formats are no longer add-ons — they are redefining the field itself.
The real question now: Who builds and governs these infrastructures?

#introduction

Hi Mastodon! I'm Pascal and new to Mastodon. I'm a computer engineer and a researcher in operations research. I'm a (fairly) strong advocate for #openSource and #openScience. I'm interested in many topics but mostly #sustainability #privacy #lowtech #epistemology.

I'm a bit of a #typesetting nerd, so I use #LaTeX (or #TeX), and #Typst. I maintain two Typst packages: glossarium and algorithmic.

I have some free time before my next work contract starts, so I have been slowly going through my personal projects backlog...

Looking forward to meet people here!
