In academia, publishing is “the coin of the realm”. How does the reproducibility of our work suffer under this “publish or perish” system? Today we talk about the pressure to publish splashy research in high-value journals, and how those pressures influence what kind of research gets funded.
In this eight-episode podcast series, we interview several experts about “the reproducibility crisis” and how they think the culture of science plays into that. We dig into questions about academic incentives, publishing and funding practices, training and mentorship, how the media plays into the problem, and finally, what we can do to fix things.
