Replication games: how to make reproducibility research more systematic
Abel Brodeur, Anna Dreber, Fernando Hoces de la Guardia & Edward Miguel
In some areas of social science, around half of studies can’t be replicated. A new test-fast, fail-fast initiative aims to...
Known methodological issues such as publication bias, questionable research practices and studies with underpowered designs are known to decrease the replicability of study findings.
The presence of such issues has been widely established across different research fields, especially in...
Things Could Be Better
Adam Mastroianni, Ethan Ludwin-Peery
Eight studies document what may be a fundamental and universal bias in human imagination: people think things could be better. When we ask people how things could be different, they imagine how things could be better (Study 1). The...

Background
Registration of research studies is designed to lock investigators into a data collection and analysis plan before a study starts and...
"Abstract
We use publicly available data to show that published papers in top psychology, economics, and general interest journals that fail to replicate are cited more than those that replicate. This difference in citation does not change after the publication of the failure to replicate. Only...
Might be interesting, sadly it's paywalled.
A series of failed replications and frauds have raised questions regarding self-correction in science. Metascientific activists have advocated policies that incentivize replications and make them more diagnostically potent. We argue that current...
I'm hoping to get an overview of biomedical abnormalities found in ME/CFS that were replicated by multiple groups. I realize that, due to the paucity of research, most of the findings are unimportant and non-specific with some inconsistencies in the findings but I still think it would be useful...
The replication crisis is killing psychologists’ theory of how the body influences the mind
An excellent article (IMO) that examines some very important implications of the replication crisis in psychology in areas relating to the mind-body connection. Specifically, the "embodied cognition"...

The Replication Crisis
Analysis
Many key findings in psychological research are under question, as the results of some of its most well-known experiments – such as the marshmallow effect, ego depletion, stereotype threat and the Zimbardo Stanford Prison Experiment – have proved difficult or...
