Here are few points that i'd like to extract from -
- " But success can breed complacency. Modern scientists are doing too much trusting and not enough verifying- to the detriment of the whole of science, and of humanity" . It makes sense to me. Modern scientists nowadays are of few new findings and they seem to just support the evidence of old research and refute them. Hence, they need to produce new findings.
- competitiveness of science.
- careerism encourages exaggeration and the cherry picking of results. Only most striking findings have the greatest chance.
- failure to prove a hypothesis are rarely even offered for publication,let alone accepted.
- research protocols should be registered in advance and monitored in virtual notebooks.
- most enlightened journals are already becoming less averse to humdrum papers.
