Work
In 2011, Nosek and his collaborators set up the Reproducibility Project, with the aim of trying to replicate the results of 100 psychological experiments published in respected journals in 2008.{{cite web | url=https://www.theguardian.com/science/head-quarters/2015/aug/28/reproducibility-project-psychology-research-hopeless-case-or-pioneering-field | title=Psychology research: hopeless case or pioneering field? | work=The Guardian | date=28 August 2015 | accessdate=26 October 2015 | author=Bishop, Dorothy}} In 2015, their results were published in Science, and found that only 36 out of the 100 replications showed statistically significant results, compared with 97 of the 100 original experiments.{{cite journal|last1=Open Science|first1=Collaboration|title=PSYCHOLOGY.
