- Title
Reproducibilidad y replicabilidad en la investigación en ciencias naturales: ¿Hay una crisis?
- Authors
GORLA, DAVID E.
- Abstract
We assume that because of the self-correction nature of the scientific knowledge, every published study will be revised by somebody that will replicate it and, eventually, publish a correction. Therefore, the process will discard errors and keep successes to build the established scientific knowledge. However, because of questionable research practices, the process does not work as well as expected, and has driven a reproducibility and replicability crisis (although some will deny such crisis). This document considers in general the state-of-the-art of the problem and presents a local example (at least as a proof of concept) showing that questionable research practices are more prevalent than we think. I conclude calling for spaces to reflect on the problem and I suggest ideas to reduce the impact of its causes, especially important for the training of young researchers.
