PLoS Biology survey on reproducibility

A new paper by Cobey et al. (2024) reports on the responses of n=1,630 respondents to a survey about the degree to which there is a reproducibility crisis in biomedicine.

Figure 1 from Cobey et al. (2024).

Reasons indicated for challenges in reproducibility largely mirror those from the Baker (2016) study in Nature.
