> and responsible for a large chunk of the science replication crisis. Former semiconductor researcher here. It is quite common for researchers not to believe published papers - even in prestigious journals from well known researchers. No one bothers replicating, and they don't put enough information in the paper to replicate (competition - they don't want others to get the secret sauce). This was true for both computational and experimental papers. Oh, and I did know one person personally who falsified data (and was caught). He just transferred to another prestigious school and got his PhD there instead. It was quite demoralizing and helped me decide not to pursue academia.
