The Replication Crisis is not a crisis for researchers - it is a crisis for society
Perverse incentives in research careers lead to poor research practices prevailing. This problem may not necessarily be a problem for researchers as their careers can benefit from questionable research practices. The end users of science (such as government agencies, policy makers and wider society) are the ones who are negatively impacted by poor science and we argue here that the systemic change must come from them and not from within the research community alone.
Open Science – what’s the way (for Australia)? – Notes from a panel discussion
