A meadow grasshopper (Pseudochorthippus parallelus). This species is widespread across most of Europe and is commonly used as a model organism in evolutionary biology. If an experiment is repeated ...

These inconsistencies between reagents can introduce experimental noise that may be difficult to detect or account for during study replication. In many cases, a failure to replicate findings may ...

In a new paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a team of 41 authors from around the globe ...

A recent study provides evidence that some results of behavioral experiments with insects cannot be fully reproduced. So far, possible reproducibility problems have been little discussed in this ...

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 ...

Recent years have seen perceptions of a “reproducibility crisis” grow in various disciplines. Scientists see poor levels of research reproducibility as a severe threat to scientific self-correction, ...

Science is in a reproducibility crisis, according to officials at recently launched Briefly Bio, which is headquartered in London. They add that in preclinical research, it’s estimated that over 50% ...

Physics is in a crisis. Over the past year, a series of research papers claimed to find evidence for high-temperature superconductors – materials that conduct electricity without losses, which could ...

In an unprecedented effort, a coalition of more than 50 research teams has surveyed a swathe of Brazilian biomedical studies to double-check their findings — with dismaying results. The teams were ...

Philosophy of science is often dismissed as useless by practicing scientists. From young researchers scrambling to get tenure or finish a dissertation, to industry scientists buried under a mountain ...

72% of participants agreed there was a reproducibility crisis in biomedicine, with 27% of participants indicating the crisis was “significant.” The leading perceived cause of irreproducibility was a ...
