If you have a question about this talk, please contact Psychology Reception .

In 2013 I spoke at the Zangwill Club, suggesting that we shouldn’t believe everything we read in the papers (https://talks.cam.ac.uk/talk/index/41854). My argument was that a variety of individual and structural factors conspire to undermine the veracity of much published research. Since then, we have had reports from major funders, and a parliamentary inquiry into research reproducibility by the Science Innovation and Technology Committee. However, whilst evidence has grown that research quality could be improved, in practice little has changed. I will present further evidence on the nature and scale of the problem, the importance of community efforts such as national Reproducibility Networks, and suggestions for how radical changes to scholarly communication may be necessary to achieve real change.

Host: Prof Dénes Szücs
