There has been, and continues to be, widespread concern about the so-called reproducibility crisis in science. Countless editorials and opinion pieces in journals and newspapers continue to discuss this issue. It would appear that many science administrators, journalists and politicians, including some scientists, believe that most of the findings reported in scientific publications cannot be reproduced and therefore are useless. Some even assert that the apparently growing crisis is due to widespread fraud, fuelled by problems with current research and publication practices.
