Why should we work so hard to make our work reproducible?
Most scientific work isn’t reproducible. Amgen and Bayer, reported in 2011/12 that their scientists were unable to replicate 80-90% of the findings in landmark papers (So sad!).
In one of the NatureJobs article, Andy Tay could explain (for say) why that’s a problem.
Now the thought is whether to allow someone else to reproduce the exact you have performed ??
Answer is:
Some will say there remain stress from competition (to graduate), to obtain tenured positions, to publish papers (with extra page charges), or to secure grants can tempt researchers to publish in large volumes and without through investigation.
Others will curse the charity of open science and remain in the hidden box for the benefit of there 'Personal Growth science'. Errrrrrr!
(I beg) The research works should be drafted sufficiently to allow reproducibility since one has to satisfy the phrase "I am damn good in walking on others work and then I will think what I can do further?".
