Why Most Published Research Findings Are False
Recommendation
“It can be proven that most claimed research findings are false.” Those are fighting words, but if anyone has the right to say them, John Ioannidis does. He’s co-director of the Meta-Research Innovation Center at Stanford and one of the researchers other scientists cite most often. This is one of his best-known papers. getAbstract recommends his insights to researchers, research readers and anyone who would like to be more scientifically literate. Readers interested in Ioannidis’s framework for assessing the proportion of false positive findings should refer to the original paper.
