The Crisis of Replication and Fraud in Social Sciences
The replication crisis in social sciences has led to a situation where many studies could not reproduce initial findings, leading to doubts about their validity. This has caused damage to the credibility of numerous top scientific journals, with publishers like Wiley retracting thousands of papers due to research fraud. The closure of 19 journals and the retraction of 11,300 papers by Wiley indicate the scale of the issue. Additionally, there have been instances where prominent figures in behavioral science were found to have fabricated their research, further eroding trust in the field.
