At this point, it is hardly a surprise to learn that even top scientific journals publish a lot of low-quality work — not just solid experiments that happen, by bad luck, to have yielded conclusions ...

Replication is something of a litmus test for scientific truth, and cancer biologists at the Center for Open Science wanted to see just how many of cancer’s most influential experiments stood up to it ...

Researchers have for the first time been able to create an RNA molecule that replicates, diversifies and develops complexity, following Darwinian evolution. This has provided empirical evidence that ...

Catching problems through replication early on can prevent cancer patients from getting their hopes up about early studies dubbed "promising." National Institutes of Health A key tenant in the ...

Over the past decade, it became apparent that a number of fields of research had some issues with replication. Published results didn't always survive attempts at repeating experiments. The extent of ...

A Los Alamos collaboration has replicated an important but largely forgotten physics experiment: the first deuterium-tritium (DT) fusion observation. As described in the article published in Physical ...

Older DNA strands are preferentially sorted into stem cells when they self-renew (A). This segregates the DNA most recently replicated, and therefore most error-prone, into cells destined for ...

Statistics Machine Room, 1964. Research students Mr Button and Mr Kerner. Photograph taken during the making of a BBC documentary. In light of an estimated replication rate of only 36% out of 100 ...

Lots of psychology studies fail to produce the same results when they are repeated. Does that mean we shouldn't trust science? When Great Minds Think Unalike: Inside Science's 'Replication Crisis' It ...
