- Topic: Replications and Predicting Replication Outcomes
Abstract
Why are there so many false positive results in the published scientific literature? And what is the actual share of results that do not replicate in different literatures in the experimental social sciences? I will discuss several recent large聽replication聽projects on direct and conceptual聽replications, as well as our studies on 鈥渨isdom-of-crowds鈥 mechanisms like聽prediction markets聽and forecasting surveys where researchers attempt to predict聽replication聽outcomes as well as new outcomes.
