The very fact that we have to take the issue of replication so seriously and spend lots of time and money on it in these hard times speaks out loudly that things are not right in biomedical research. William Gunn says: The Reproducibility Initiative aims to make science work better for everyone. The worst that could happen is that we learn a lot about what level of reproducibility to expect and how to reliably build on a published finding. At best, funders will start tacking a few per cent on to grants for replication purposes and publishers will start asking for it. That can only be good for science as a whole.
