It seems we have a problem. John Ioannidis said: “There is increasing concern that in modern research, false findings may be the majority or even the vast majority of published research claims.” Over 70% of researchers have tried and failed to reproduce another scientist’s experiments. 52% agreed that there is a replication crisis. We live in a world right now where a lot of people say our public policy should “follow the science” in some very important areas – with big consequences. So it does matter that the science should be robust. How big is the problem? What causes it? And how can it be – and indeed is it being – addressed?
