I was prompted by @kimberlyquinn on bsky to synthesize what we've learned on reproducibility over the course of our metascientific investigations & how it ties in with a pluralistic view of science. I'll cross-post my answer. No links to papers, just some fundamental insights 🧵 - Science reform was ignited largely ignited by low reproducibility rates and decided to tackle it as a target issue.
- At the same time my colleagues & I decided to study reproducibility theoretically, to understand its drivers intead of assuming (e.g., pub bias, p-hacking)

🚨 New preprint 🚨

“The logical structure of experiments lays the foundation for a theory of reproducibility”

In which we show why meaningful replications need to be based on deeper theoretical understanding and stronger empirical foundations.
biorxiv.org/content/10.110… We continue to advance our theoretical research program on formalizing methodological issues in metascience. In this paper, we dissect the scientific experiment as a unit of analysis to be able to study replication experiments and reproducibility of results.
