« this discrepancy is a root cause of the #ReproducibilityCrisis. »
Please do not hide 🫣 behind technical means!
As scientific practitioners, it’s simple (but not easy!):
(1) Degrowth our outcome; for a better quality and a lower quantity
(2) Adopt and promote current practises that already help
The rule of thumb:
If our grandchildren cannot verify in the future our findings of today, then such findings aren’t scientific findings but findings of alchemists, wizards, sorcerers, occultists or warlocks.

In this interview with Alice Meadows, Sami Benchekroun (Morressier/Molecular Connections) and Rod Cookson (The Royal Society) share their thoughts about how and why scholarly publishing needs to move away from being article-based.
LAB CHRONICLE #14
-Experiment log-
Name: Drop 37B
Mission: Observe the Leidenfrost effect on thermally uneven substrates
Status: Actively exploring, but refuses to behave
Philosophy: If water could make decisions, it’d probably be leaving the lab by now.

Our latest piece on the reproducibility crisis. If we want to be serious, we will need to perform actual research to establish whether there is one and if there is, how big the problem actually is. Only with this knowledge, we can design effective measures and monitor their success. #reproducibility #ReproducibilityCrisis #academia #research #LifeSciences

Science, particularly the biomedical branch, suffers from a #reproducibilitycrisis. Elizabeth Bik from https://microbiomedigest.com/ who is one of the best known science sleuths (and alas still on X) has received the Einstein Award - along with #PubPeer: https://award.einsteinfoundation.de/award-winners-finalists/recipients-2024
Recognizing contributions against scientific fraud and for #OpenScience is so important. Great news!
For the next few months, Dr. Andrej-Nikolai Spiess (https://openalex.org/works?page=1&filter=authorships.author.id%3Aa5027948408&sort=publication_year%3Adesc) will be a guest in my working group.
We are working on a paper where we show that 29 % of papers in top journals like Science, Nature & PNAS were skewed by a single influential data point! Time to rethink our reliance on p-values and explore alternative measures like #dfstat. #reproducibilitycrisis #linearregression #rstats
Moreover, we will work on #qPCR related software like PCRedux (https://joss.theoj.org/papers/10.21105/joss.04407)
the idea in https://www.nature.com/articles/s43856-024-00625-5 is interesting, but the code (https://doi.org/10.5522/04/25541392.v1) can't be rerun
At least they posted it. It's a start, but it's the same as a recipe for a cookbook that tells you to add in some secret spices, and you're wondering "which ones?"
Gordillo-Marañón et al. identify areas of convergence or divergence between genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and pharmaceutical research and development. They provide target-disease indication lists to prioritize drug development efforts in areas with genomic support, and diseases with few effective treatments that could benefit from GWAS.
The retraction of a study that had claimed to have produced highly reproducible research. Well...

Four labs discovered and replicated 16 novel findings with practices such as preregistration, large sample sizes and replication fidelity. Their findings suggest that with best practices, high replicability is achievable.

@fernand0 it is now 19 years from “Get me off your fucking mailing list” (Mazières and Koehler, 2005)… and there are far more tools and incentives now in support of the scams than the journals.
