Then you just threw out the baby with the bath water. This is reproducible study and what you are talking about is actually fraud that they can't be reproduced. Doesn't speak to this study or most studies like this.
The numbers are there in the project. You can reproduce your results from that. You can ask people the same questions that this study did. You can take from the same pool of people for your survey. You can also take MRIs of your sample.
Seems completely reproducible. It is an issue with the "So What...."

- baldfat 11y agoTHIS study. Not all studies. Is this a study that is valid and was the approach right. Throwing away all because of most is not a good approach.
- jackcosgrove 11y agoBut has it been reproduced? A study must be reproducible and reproduced, with the same results in the reproductions, to be valid.
- baldfat 11y agoReproducibility means IT can be.This isn't the claim that stem cells could be produced from normal adult cells by dipping them into acid for a 30-minute shock period.(Was a Nature Journal paper that was false in January 2014) With these you have the numbers and the research. You would have to say something was wrong in their approach and redo it. In these instances you look at the data and you make analysis of it. No need to reproduce it.
- jackcosgrove 11y agoThere is definitely a need to reproduce all scientific studies. No study is perfect and can be taken at its authors' word.
- baldfat 11y agoIt is impossible to make all science reproducible. Some studies are to expensive and just not possible. Do we need 2 Hadron Colliders? Since we need to reproduce their effects? Here is some reading on irreproducible research. http://www.nature.com/news/reproducibility-1.17552 http://www.nature.com/news/reproducibility-1.17552
