This is not surprising when one considers that the current incentive
structure favors long publication lists that contain new and surprising
findings which, however, often are not robust (e.g., because results are
based on very small samples or are statistically "just significant.").
This spurred the replication crisis and gave rise to the question:
"Which results can we trust at all?" In response, many stakeholders have
decisively moved towards "Open Science", with the goal to make research
more transparent, more reproducible, and more trustworthy. For example,
research funders and scientific organizations, such as the DFG and the
EU Research Council, push into this direction. In my talk, I will give a
quick overview about the current state of the replication/credibility
crisis and show why open science must be one answer to this crisis. This
has implications for research practices, teaching, hiring decisions,
and journal guidelines.
