The Reproducibility Project: Cancer Biology (RP:CB) is an initiative to conduct direct replications of 50 high-impact cancer biology studies. The project anticipates learning more about predictors of reproducibility, common obstacles to conducting replications, and how the current scientific incentive structure affects research practices by estimating the rate of reproducibility in a sample of published cancer biology literature. The RP:CB is a collaborative effort between the Center for Open Science and network provider Science Exchange, and will be published in eLife.
Through independent direct replication studies, the project aims to identify best practices that maximize reproducibility and facilitate an accurate accumulation of knowledge, enabling potentially impactful novel findings to be effectively built upon by the scientific community.
Additionally we expect to learn about:
"For just $2 million in private funding — less than a typical 5-year grant from the US National Institutes of Health to a single investigator — this replication project shines a very public light on the sticking points of experiments."
— Editorial in Nature
"The composite picture is, there is a reproducibility problem.”
— John Ioannidis, Stanford University
“‘More than 50 years ago, the philosopher Thomas Kuhn defined ‘normal science’ as the kind of work that faithfully supports or chisels away at current hypotheses. It is easy to dismiss this as workmanlike and uninteresting. But only by doing such normal science — and doing it well — can we recognize when revolutions are necessary.”
