Recent events have vividly underscored the societal importance of
science, yet the majority of the public are unaware that a large
proportion of published scientific results are simply wrong. The
Problem with Science is an exploration of the manifestations and
causes of this scientific crisis, accompanied by a description of
the very promising corrective initiatives largely developed over
the past decade to stem the spate of irreproducible results that
have come to characterize many of our sciences. More importantly,
Dr. R. Barker Bausell has designed it to provide guidance to
practicing and aspiring scientists regarding how (a) to change the
way in which science has come to be both conducted and reported in
order to avoid producing false positive, irreproducible results in
their own work and (b) to change those institutional practices
(primarily but not exclusively involving the traditional journal
publishing process and the academic reward system) that have
unwittingly contributed to the present crisis. There is a need for
change in the scientific culture itself. A culture which
prioritizes conducting research correctly in order to get things
right rather than simply getting it published.
