What is the replication crisis? In its most basic sense, the replication crisis refers to a pattern of scientists being unable to obtain the same results previous investigators found.
At its most expansive, the crisis threatens the scientific enterprise itself, leading to questions not just about research practices and methods, but the very reliability of scientific results. It is what IPR education researcher and statistician Larry Hedges has called “an existential crisis” for science.
Where does addressing the replication crisis stand today? Four of our faculty experts shed light on how science can repair itself.
