Reviewers: Prepare for a tsunami of manuscripts made from low-quality [or even made-up] silicon samples in social science!
#ResearchIntegrity #ReproducibilityCrisis
LAB CHRONICLE #14
-Trial note-
Name: Drop 37B
Mission: Observe the Leidenfrost effect on thermally uneven substrates
Status: Actively exploring, but refuses to behave
Philosophy: If water could make decisions, it’d probably be leaving the lab by now

"[Csaba Szabo’s] engaging book is stuffed with facts and evidence...His call to arms could not come soon enough."—Anna Abalkina, Nature. buff.ly/gi7LfTZ #BiomedicalResearch #ReproducibilityCrisis #ScienceIntegrity #BookReview #ReadUP nature.com
Peer review is meant to prevent scientific misconduct. But it has its own problems

"Among the world’s most cited biomedical scientists, with 'more than thirty years of direct experience of biomedical research,' Szabo blows the lid off his field."—Christopher Lane, Psychology Today buff.ly/K8ItxJi #ResearchFraud #ResearchEthics #ReproducibilityCrisis #BiomedicalResearch
"[UNRELIABLE] is a disturbing but compelling exploration of the causes of irreproducibility—from hypercompetition and honest errors, to statistical shenanigans and outright fraud."—Asher Mullard, C&EN buff.ly/EgN7nLn #BiomedicalResearch #ReproducibilityCrisis #ScienceIntegrity #ResearchEthics
New Blog Post. Csaba Szabo in Conversation with Robyn Massey About Unreliable. Read more at cupblog.org.
"Science deserves better, and so does everybody involved: the funders, the honest scientists, and of course the tax-paying public who ultimately holds the bill."—Csaba Szabo, author of UNRELIABLE buff.ly/r0Zk3Zn #BiomedicalResearch #ReproducibilityCrisis #ScienceIntegrity #ResearchEthics
Small differences in computational analyses can drastically alter findings, even with identical data. Parag Mallick and Andreas Huhmer dive into means of combating this component of the #reproducibilityCrisis on the latest episode of Translating Proteomics.

Germany signed an agreement with MDPI, while Finland and Norway downgraded its journals.
Allegations prioritising quantity over quality include:
- Self-citations
- Focus on special issues (up to 9/day)
- Point system rewarding publication over rejection

2/ Why does replication code matter? Providing replication code is key to computational #reproducibility (same data + same code = same results), fostering trust in science, reducing errors, and enabling others to build on published research. Yet, how common is this practice? 🤔 #ReproducibilityCrisis
Science, particularly the biomedical branch, suffers from a #reproducibilitycrisis. Elizabeth Bik from https://microbiomedigest.com/ who is one of the best known science sleuths (and alas still on X). Has received the Einstein Award - along with #PubPeer […]

The #ReproducibilityCrisis is a *real* problem. It not only points to deficiencies in some scientific advances >
