Replication Crisis

By now you should know that some experimental results are just flukes. In order to be sure a study result isn't a fluke, it needs to be replicated. Interestingly, in some fields, such as psychology, there has been a concerted effort to replicate positive results, but those efforts have found that fewer than 50 percent of positive results can be replicated. That rate is low, and this problem is aptly positive results the replication crisis.
