    Our readingHistory has a reproducibility problem worse than science’s replication crisis, because hardly anyone ever goes back to the sources to check what a historian claimed they say.

    Their wordsBut I’ve become increasingly worried that science’s replication crises might pale in comparison to what happens all the time in history, which is not just a replication crisis but a reproducibility crisis.

    Their wordsWe know how easily these practices can distort the scientific record and give us false-positive, nonsense results.

    Our readingPublished effect sizes shrink as more studies are done, and that decline is what the replication crisis is made of.

    Their wordsThe decline effect is the idea that scientific findings get smaller over time. That is, initial findings tend to report effect sizes that then crumble away—sometimes to nothing—with subsequent research.

    Our readingMost claimed research findings are false, and that can be shown rather than merely suspected.

    Their wordsIt can be proven that most claimed research findings are false. Here I will examine the key factors that influence this problem

    Our readingThe more analytical freedom a field allows in designs, definitions and outcomes, the less likely its published findings are to be true.

    Their wordsThe greater the flexibility in designs, definitions, outcomes, and analytical modes in a scientific field, the less likely the research findings are to be true.

    Our readingA hotter field with more teams racing on the same question produces less reliable findings, not more.

    Their wordsThe hotter a scientific field (with more scientific teams involved), the less likely the research findings are to be true.
