@psychscience.bsky.socialAPS has led this work for more than a decade, from Registered Replication Reports to open-science badges, and we applaud the agency's efforts to make rigorous practices the foundation of basic and clinical research. However, rigor needs resources.
@psychscience.bsky.socialThe goal…is a transformation of the culture of science to value replication as something fundamental, rather than see replication as something that's done on the edges and not particularly rewarded, or even worse, sometimes seen as a threat to a scientist, says #NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya.
