Problems with Scientific Research - Questionnaire


Problems with Scientific Research - QuestionnaireVersion en ligne quizz repasos par Ainhoa Villares Jiménez 1 Since its birth in the 17th century, modern science has changed the world beyond recognition. A simple idea underpins science: “trust but verify”, results should always be subject to challenge from experiment. That simple but powerful idea has generated a vast body of knowledge. According to the article modern scientists: a Are doing too much trusting and not enough verifying, to the detriment of the whole of science, and of humanity. b Too many of the findings in the academic environment are the result of trashy experiments or poor analysis. c In some areas as much as half of published research cannot be replicated. d All of above are true. 2 According to the article one reason for the problems is the competitiveness of science. In the 1950s, when modern academic research took shape after its successes in the second world war, scientists numbered a few hundred thousand. Nowadays their ranks have increased to 6m-7m active researchers and scientists have lost their taste for self-policing and quality control. a Verdadero b falso c d 3 According to the article the obligation to “publish or perish” has come to rule over academic life. Indicate which of the following proposition is false: a ) Competition for jobs is cutthroat. b b) Full professors in America earned on average the same as judges did c Every year six freshly minted PhDs compete for every academic post. d Nowadays researchers are not interested in verification -the replication of other people’s results- because it adds almost no points to a researcher’s career. 4 According to the article we also observe that failures to prove a hypothesis are rarely even offered for publication. Nowadays “Negative results” account for only 14% of published papers, down from 30% in 1990. But knowing what is false is as important to science as knowing what is true. The failure to report failures means that researchers waste money and effort exploring blind alleys already investigated by other scientists. a verdadero b falso c d 5 “If it’s broke, fix it”. What might be done to shore it up? One priority should be for all disciplines to follow the example of those that have done most to tighten standards. According to the article which of the following statements is false: a a) Journals should allocate space for “uninteresting” work, and grant-givers should set aside money to pay for it. b b) Some government funding agencies are working out how best to encourage replication. c c) Peer review should be more stringent or perhaps dispensed in favour of post-publication evaluation in the form of appended comments. d d) This system of post-publication evaluation has worked well recently in chemistry and biology. e e) Policymakers should ensure that institutions using public money also follow the rules.
