Research to Ruin: The Worsening Spectre of Academic Fraud
"Universities’ willingness to tolerate sloppy or phony research in order to protect their own reputations is largely to blame for the “replication crisis” currently undermining public confidence in science generally. Very briefly, replication is a cornerstone of the scientific method because it allows the validity of experiments to be independently confirmed, in turn strengthening the underlying hypothesis. But more and more reported results from experiments in the natural, medical and social sciences cannot be replicated by other scientists. The ongoing replication crisis, now well into its second decade, furnishes further indirect evidence that a shocking amount of scientific research is shoddy or outright bogus."
