    There are two kinds of people, the kind who’ll read this and think, “This is science working”, and others who’ll think “Well, you can’t trust science”.

      No there are three. You missed the guy grumbling in the corner about academia being in shambles (in the US at least)

        I’m optimistic. I think we’re at the beginning of the self-correction stage of the reproducibility crisis.

        It’s not the end. It’s not even the beginning of the end. But it could very well be the end of the beginning.

          Oh I agree! I actually have another comment in this thread where I said I think that more people are excited about uncovering fraudulent work than ever before imo.

            in academia, crimes against scientific integrity are considered particularly heinous. The dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious violations are members of an elite squad known as the Ph.D students. These are their stories.

    Hmm. So is it actually the number of fraudullent papers that’s up, or is it the number of frauds that get caught?

      Probably both considering that many people need these studies to return results to continue getting funded. At the same time, more academics than ever are excited about uncovering fraudulent work (imo).
