Science Fictions

How Fraud, Bias, Negligence, and Hype Undermine the Search for Truth

Stuart Ritchie

A manifesto for a more rigorous approach to scientific data, Science Fictions shines a light on the bias, incompetence, and fraud that plague the peer-reviewed world. With a Freakonomics-style examination, Stuart Richie's book uncovers the replication crisis in science, where famous experiments are proving unrepeatable and the conclusions of countless studies are downright wrong. Readers will be empowered with a toolkit for spotting bad science to save the field from itself.

Here's a really thought provoking review by @Musa_alGharbi of a really interesting book by @StuartJRitchie: Science Fictions. About problems in science that interfere with truth-finding, and how to improve the process. Via @HdxAcademy      fuente

@AlisonMBailey @matthewcobb @BBCRadio4 I would say it is the least bad system we have yet tried! I heartily recommend @StuartJRitchie’s book Science Fictions, which gets seriously stuck into the reeds about the systemic problems of peer review.      fuente

Just finished this excellent book by @StuartJRitchie. Assumed it would be fast-paced science journalism on scientific errors but it's also quite a profound book on the history and philosophy of science 👏👏👏      fuente
