optimize key elements of the scientific process: methods, reporting and dissemination, reproducibility,
evaluation and incentives... one analysis estimates that 85 % of biomedical research
efforts are wasted, while 90 % of respondents to a recent survey in Nature agreed that there is a «reproducibility crisis»»...» The key to fostering a robust metascience that evaluates and improves practices is that the stakeholders of science must not embrace the status quo, but instead pursue self - examination continuously for improvement and self - correction of the scientific process itself.
