Numerous scholars believe that there is a crisis in psychology because of the “poor quality” of our theories. However, we believe that it is misleading to suggest that psychology is going through a “theory crisis” because the major shortcomings of …
We discuss a relatively new meta-scientific research design: many-analyst studies that attempt to assess the replicability and credibility of research based on large-scale observational data. In these studies, a large number of analysts try to answer …
In recent debates about the replication crisis, two positions have been dominant: one that focuses on methodological reforms and one that focuses on theory building. This paper takes up the suggestion that there might be a deeper difference in play, …
All of us involved in the mind and brain sciences, in whatever
capacity, are increasingly aware of the importance of ensuring
the credibility of our research. This credibility—which for experimental work turns on its reliability—is particularly …
Reproducible research and open science practices have the potential to accelerate scientific progress by allowing others to reuse research outputs, and by promoting rigorous research that is more likely to yield trustworthy results. However, these …
Conservation science is a multidisciplinary and collaborative discipline. This journal's policy is to encourage transparent and open practices in science, including sharing of data, code, and survey instruments. Such practices are especially …
The scientific endeavor is one in which the capacity to replicatefindings is a foundational tenant. It is unfortunate that therehave been a number of highly publicized cases over the pastdecade of scientists who have not practiced science with …
A central tenet of systems biology is that biological systems are greater than the sum of their component parts. Spaceflight is associated with hazards including radiation exposure and microgravity which impact different echelons of biological …
Open source software is often seen as a path to reproducibility in computational science. In practice there are many obstacles, even when the code is freely available, but open source policies should at least lead to better quality code.
Conversations about open science have reached the mainstream, yet many open science practices such as data sharing remain uncommon. Our efforts towards openness therefore need to increase in scale and aim for a more ambitious target. We need an …
