REPLICATION CRISIS IN SCIENTIFIC STUDIES AND OPEN SCIENCE

Year 2023, Volume: 8 Issue: 3, 375 - 381, 29.10.2023

Abstract

Scientific research processes that require diligent work and intense effort and the publication of research results in reputable journals contribute to the development of science on the one hand and scientists on the other. In parallel with the developments in information and information technologies, there is a rapid increase in scientific studies and publications. However, during this rapid increase, it is observed that many research results with significant methodological errors can be published in reputable scientific journals and receive many citations in a short time. The "replication crisis" discussions used to express this problem show that openness and transparency should be a prerequisite for scientific studies and publications. For this purpose, pre-registration should be a rule for all kinds of scientific research, referee evaluations should be possible not only at the publication stage but also at every stage of the research, even public evaluation should be possible, and "open science" practices should become widespread in order to protect scientific prestige and trust in science.

BİLİMSEL ARAŞTIRMALARDA TEKRAR EDİLEBİLİRLİK SORUNLARI VE AÇIK BİLİM

Year 2023, Volume: 8 Issue: 3, 375 - 381, 29.10.2023

Abstract

Özenli çalışma ve yoğun çaba gerektiren bilimsel araştırma süreçleri ile araştırma sonuçlarının sayın dergilerde yayınlanması bir yandan bilimin bir yandan da bilim insanının gelişmesine katkı sağlamaktadır. Bilişim ve bilgi teknolojilerindeki gelişmelere paralel olarak bilimsel çalışmalarda ve yayınlarda da hızlı bir artış olmaktadır. Ne var ki bu hızlı artış sırasında önemli yöntem hatalarına sahip pek çok araştırma sonucunun saygın bilim dergilerinde yayın olarak yer alabildiği, kısa sürede çok sayıda atıf alabildiği görülmektedir. Bu sorunu ifade etmek amacıyla kullanılan “tekrar edilebilirlik krizi” tartışmaları bilimsel çalışma ve yayınlarda açıklık, şeffaflık özelliklerinin önkoşul olması gerektiğini göstermektedir. Bu amaçla her türlü bilimsel araştırma için ön-kayıt uygulamasının bir kural olması, hakem değerlendirmelerinin sadece yayın aşamasında değil araştırmanın her aşamasında yapılabilmesi hatta kamusal değerlendirmenin mümkün olması, bilimsel saygınlığın ve bilime güvenin korunması için “açık bilim” uygulamalarının yaygınlaşması gerekmektedir.
