Ithaka S+R Studies Reproducibility and Replicability in Research
Melissa Blankstein writes for Ithaka S+R about a report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine on reproducibility and replicability in different research fields. She notes, “Congress requested this collaborative study because of prolific media exposure on data misconduct and the inability of scientists to replicate important research. Additionally, there has been extensive media coverage of researchers who fabricate their data and have published fraudulent findings. Due to this abundance of concern regarding research fraud and data fabrication in diverse fields, as well as feedback from various academic communities, the 2018 cycle of the [Ithaka S+R] US Faculty Survey included new inquiries to assess faculty attitudes on this topic.” For more information, read the blog post.
