Description: The »replication crisis« refers to the crisis of confidence triggered by the failure to reproduce a large portion of important findings in several scientific disciplines, including medicine. Failed replication occurred in high-profiled scandals such as the »omics« case at Duke University, as well as in systematic attempts to reproduce influential preclinical studies. An extensive meta-research literature attests to problems with suboptimal methods choices and indicates that behaviors bordering between deliberate misleading and well-intentioned mistakes (questionable research practices) are very common (e.g. selective reporting of particular results »based on a gut feeling«). As a consequence, influential international institutions have been prompted to take action to strengthen research rigor and reproducibility. So-called reproducibility networks, pioneered in the UK, seem particularly promising to organize necessary coordinated efforts among a wide range of stakeholders.
