An articulately crafted answer in Quora!

Who has a greater chance of success? a researcher, who just got started, or a massive lab with ample resources, a 30-year track record, and a certain Swedish medallion?

"Science" News...
Another tenure-track scientist bites the dust  by Adam Ruben

A Quote:

I think a lot of students have an overly romantic notion of science: You identify an interesting question, and you search for the answer. Only, in real life, what you want to research and what those with money want you to research aren’t always the same thing.

 

Containing a threat.... | Congratulation Priodyuti for his first publications @ CSL

In his recent paper, Priodyuti have proposed a novel network design to localize information and thus containing a threat which may be harmful for the whole community!

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?".
