The ability to replicate research findings remains a mainstay of the scientific process, allowing experts to assess and challenge an evolving evidence base. But a growing body of research shows that ...

Clarissa Carneiro, a meta scientist and currently the co-executive director at the Brazilian Reproducibility Network, experienced the reproducibility challenge firsthand. As an undergraduate student ...

If an experiment is repeated under similar conditions, the results should be the same. In reality, the situation is often different—scientists speak of a "reproducibility crisis," which affects ...

A recent study provides evidence that some results of behavioral experiments with insects cannot be fully reproduced. So far, possible reproducibility problems have been little discussed in this ...

The use of images in scientific papers is more popular than ever, but there have been no common standards for their publication -- until now. Images created by a plethora of high-tech instruments are ...
