Abstract

Research at a frantic rush has its consequences and where there is no time or resources for replication, science’s usual self-correction doesn’t happen, potentially leaving dangerously flawed research out there causing harm.

Science has been invaluable in combating the COVID-19 pandemic and its consequences. However, science is not flawless: especially research that is performed and written up under high time pressure may be susceptible to errors. Luckily, one of the core principles of science is its ability to self-correct. Traditionally, scientific self-correction is achieved through replication, but this takes time and resources; both of which are scarce. In this chapter, I argue for an additional, more efficient self-correction mechanism: analytical reproducibility checks.
