Community Reactions

At least one clear, actionable conclusion emerged from the new findings -- Scientists should aspire to include as much information about their experimental methods as possible to ensure understanding about results on the other side.

Yvette Seger, Director of Science Policy, Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology

I don’t think we should accept this as just the way it has to be. We’re deeply concerned about this, and aim to keep pushing really hard on it.

Francis Collins, Director of the US National Institutes of Health

This replicability project…. [is] certainly helpful in developing improved approaches to scientific investigation that will result in more reliable outcomes.

Projects such as this one are important for understanding how to make all of our research more rigorous.

Marcia McNutt, President, U.S. National Academy of Sciences
