By this criteria, there is very little science going on anywhere. We don't teach philosophy of science enough anymore. In most of the fields that I'm familiar with, reproducibility is very hard and rarely bothered about by either the original researcher or others in the field.
- dllthomas 13y agoThat's true, and it's a problem.
- SamuelMulder 13y agoAgreed, but I'm not sure the solution is upping the statistical standards so much as educating researchers about what the statistical standards actually mean, how to use them, and how to construct a valid, repeatable experiment.
