The irony is that this is published in Nature, which undoubtedly is a huge contributor to questionable research practices by publishing spectacular findings and ignoring negative results and replications.
- tdaltonc 10y agoI think it's more helpful to blame the incentives and the individual actors. Nature isn't malicious or powerful enough to break science all on it's own. It didn't write the rules, it just plays by them. ie Hate the game, not the player.
