Is It Really Bad That Only 50% of Social Science Papers Are Reproducible?
Is It Really Bad That Only 50% of Social Science Papers Are Reproducible?
Three new papers in Nature from the SCORE project find that around half of social science studies hold up under replication, reproducibility, and robustness tests. Many commentators have read this as failure. Might there be a more optimistic reading, and one that points to where social science needs to go next?
Reproducibility and Robustness of Economics and Political Science Research
Reproducibility and Robustness of Economics and Political Science Research
Robustness checks and reproduction of analyses with existing and updated data based on 110 articles in economics and political science journals with data and code-sharing requirements found high levels of robustness and reproducibility and determined that robustness was not dependent on author characteristics or data availability.

Replicating Scientific Results is Tough - but Essential
A high-profile replication study in cancer biology has obtained disappointing results. Scientists must redouble their efforts to find out why.
Understand the Real Reasons Reproducibility Reform Fails
Lack of rigour is often blamed on pressure to publish. But ethnographers can find out what truly keeps science from upping its game.
Reproducibility of Research During COVID‐19: Examining the Case of Population Density and the Basic Reproductive Rate from the Perspective of Spatial Analysis
Reproducibility of Research During COVID‐19: Examining the Case of Population Density and the Basic Reproductive Rate from the Perspective of Spatial Analysis
The emergence of the novel SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus and the global COVID-19 pandemic in 2019 led to explosive growth in scientific research. Given the high stakes of the situation, it is essential that scientific findings, on which good policy depends, are as robust as possible; as the empirical example shows, reproducibility is one of the keys to ensure this.
Towards Improved Data Reproducibility
In this article, we look at some of the measures we can take as individual scientists and as a global community to improve the reproducibility and rigor of scientific endeavor.
Expect Less of the Scientific Paper
Make science more reliable by placing the burden of replicability on the community, not on individual laboratories.

Replication Studies for Undergraduate Theses to Improve Science and Education | FULL TEXT
FULL TEXT. Requiring undergraduate students to perform what is termed original research for their thesis, an investigation that cannot constitute a replication of an existing study, is a failed opportunity for science and education, argues Daniel Quintana.
