#3117 - Replication Crisis
The comic consists of four panels featuring three stick figure characters presenting at a conference. Panel 1: The three characters stand at a podium; the character in the middle is speaking: "In the early 2010s, researchers found that many major scientific results couldn't be reproduced." Panel 2: "Over a decade into the replication crisis, we wanted to see if today's studies have become more robust." Panel 3: "Unfortunately, our replication analysis has found exactly the same problems that those 2010s researchers did." Panel 4: A newspaper front page with a photo of the three characters at the podium. Headline: "Replication crisis solved" Hidden text: "Maybe encouraging the publication of null results isn't enough--maybe we need a journal devoted to publishing results the study authors find personally annoying."
