At this point, it is hardly a surprise to learn that even top scientific journals publish a lot of low-quality work — not just solid experiments that happen, by bad luck, to have yielded conclusions ...

Physicists at Los Alamos National Laboratory have successfully recreated a long-overlooked experiment from 1938 — one that could play a crucial role in powering our planet with clean energy. As ...

Replicabillity — the ability to obtain the same result when an experiment is repeated — is foundational to science. But in many research fields it has proved difficult to achieve. An important and ...

A Los Alamos collaboration has replicated an important but largely forgotten physics experiment: the first deuterium-tritium (DT) fusion observation. As described in the article published in Physical ...

In light of an estimated replication rate of only 36% out of 100 replication attempts conducted by the Open Science Collaboration in 2015 (OSC2015), many believe that experimental psychology suffers ...

Catching problems through replication early on can prevent cancer patients from getting their hopes up about early studies dubbed "promising." National Institutes of Health A key tenant in the ...

I read with interest your article on the White House’s response to the replication crisis in biomedical science. You cite the Center for Open Science’s project, which couldn’t replicate 54% of ...

Older DNA strands are preferentially sorted into stem cells when they self-renew (A). This segregates the DNA most recently replicated, and therefore most error-prone, into cells destined for ...

Clarissa Carneiro, a meta scientist and currently the co-executive director at the Brazilian Reproducibility Network, experienced the reproducibility challenge firsthand. As an undergraduate student ...

The replication crisis in psychology refers to concerns about the credibility of findings in psychological science. The term, which originated in the early 2010s, denotes that findings in behavioral ...
