Quote:Here’s a dirty little science secret: If you measure a large number of things about a small number of people, you are almost guaranteed to get a ‘statistically significant’ result. Our study included 18 different measurements—weight, cholesterol, sodium, blood protein levels, sleep quality, well-being, etc.—from 15 people. (One subject was dropped.) That study design is a recipe for false positives.”

Most science funding comes from governments or corporations with vested interests
: “p-hacking” or “data dredging.”
false results, fake data, bias, manipulation and fraud in science that continues to this day.

Myth of reproducibility in science
Apparemtly another aspect of crisis is the widespread inability to reproduce experimental results
More than 70% of researchers have tried and failed to reproduce another scientist’s experiments, and more than half have failed to reproduce their own experiments
In the opening years of this decade, the Center for Open Science led a team of 240 volunteer researchers in a quest to reproduce the results of 100 psychological experiments. These experiments had all been published in three of the most prestigious psychology journals. The results of this attempt to replicate these experiments, published in 2015 in a paper on “Estimating the Reproducibility of Psychological Science,” were abysmal. Only 39 of the experimental results could be reproduced.

In 2011, Nature published a paper showing that researchers were only able to reproduce between 20 and 25 per cent of 67 published preclinical drug studies. They published another paper the next year with an even worse result: researchers could only reproduce six of a total of 53 “landmark” cancer studies. That’s a reproducibility rate of 11%
These studies alone are persuasive, but the cherry on top came in May 2016 when Nature published the results of a survey of over 1,500 scientists finding fully 70% of them had tried and failed to reproduce published experimental results at some point. The poll covered researchers from a range of disciplines, from physicists and chemists to earth and environmental scientists to medical researchers and assorted others.
Apparently fraud, fabrication and 'wilful distortion of results' is also off the charts (paper) and there's a good article below from the FT
Manipulation of research remains widespread.

Even if all [Tessier-Lavigne’s papers] were retracted, it would be a spit in the ocean of the amount of actual misconduct taking place,”
This literally happens every day. We track 5,000 retractions a year,” he added said Ivan Oransky, co-founder of Retraction Watch, which flags research papers withdrawn from academic publications.

A study published in 2012 found that fraud or suspected fraud was responsible for 43% of scientific paper retractions, by far the single leading cause of retraction.

Yes.
Quote:So, in short: Yes, there is a Replication Crisis in science. And yes, it is caused by a Crisis of Fraud. And yes, the fraud is motivated by a Crisis of Publication. And yes, thyes.ose crises are further compounded by a Crisis of Peer Review.
The simplest answer is the one that most fundamentally shakes the widespread belief that scientists are disinterested truthseekers who would never dream of publishing a false result or deliberately mislead others.
