That's probably a bigger effect. People have a huge trouble accepting that their wonderful science is a social process.

- rossdavidh 7y agoYes, and also that it's a very economic one. If you need to churn out (and get accepted) research in quantity, then "hold on there, do we know that for sure? let's try to replicate that, with a much bigger sample size..." is downright unwelcome. Scientists are mostly good people, but they're not angels, and if we put them in a system that rewards the wrong thing, we will get the wrong thing.
- AstralStorm 7y agoUnfortunately neither economics nor sociology are good enough science branches to even fix themselves. ;)
