As the result of a mandate from Congress, the National Academies will explore the issues of reproducibility and replication in scientific and engineering research. The committee will explore what is ...

"If researchers want to build on knowledge, they should be able to replicate results to fully comprehend the research that has been done before," says Daniel J. Stekhoven, Ph.D., director of NEXUS ...

Nature polled bench scientists to find out what they thought about the much-discussed crisis of reproducibility in published scientific reports. What does it take to stop the sale of snake oil? Share ...

This graphic outlines a proposed model protein system that pairs widely used reference proteins with shared benchmarks and reporting standards to support reproducible and comparable protein research.

An LMU study led by sociologist Katrin Auspurg reveals that results are often hard to reproduce and suggests measures to improve reliability. Are studies in the social sciences computationally ...

Three experts discuss lessons learnt from a large-scale dissection of the reproducibility, analytical robustness and replicability of published results. Jelte M. Wicherts is in the Department of ...

Even after decades of study, scientists are still divided on what drives diseases such as Alzheimer’s. Why? Turns out, the literature is littered with different hypotheses, some pointing in different ...
