Replication Crisis
From BurnZero
The majority of scientific findings published in journals cannot be reproduced by another scientist. This was first highlighted in 2016 by the journal Nature which issued a poll of 1,500 scientists. 70% of respondents reported that they had failed to reproduce the results of at least one of their peer’s studies. 87% of chemists, 69% of physicists and engineers, 77% of biologists, 64% of environmental and earth scientists, 67% of medical researchers, and 62% of all other respondents reported this issue. 50% had failed to reproduce one of their own experiments.
