CONTACT:Psychology Reception
DESCRIPTION:In 2013 I spoke at the Zangwill Club\, suggesting that we shou
 ldn’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 struct
 ural factors conspire to undermine the veracity of much published research
 . Since then\, we have had reports from major funders\, and a parliamentar
 y inquiry into research reproducibility by the Science Innovation and Tech
 nology Committee. However\, whilst evidence has grown that research qualit
 y could be improved\, in practice little has changed. I will present furth
 er evidence on the nature and scale of the problem\, the importance of com
 munity efforts such as national Reproducibility Networks\, and suggestions
  for how radical changes to scholarly communication may be necessary to ac
 hieve real change.\n\nHost: Prof Dénes Szücs \n\nThis talk will be recor
 ded and uploaded to the Zangwill Club "Youtube channel":https://www.youtub
 e.com/@zangwill_club in due course.
