View submission: The Business-School Scandal That Just Keeps Getting Bigger
And because the work is not exactly brain surgery, no one dies as a result.
There's no reason to believe that other disciplines aren't subject to the same pressures.

isn't this *the* seminal paper that publicized what would come to be known as the replication crisis? an issue which great strides have been taken in the following two decades to address? it's not as if the state of science in psychology and other disciplines is the same as it was when this paper was published. It seems to me that, while not exactly old hat, a reckoning has come for many disciplines that has yet to arrive for business research.

Hot take but IMO this is an effect how poorly economics and psychology fit into the definition of "science". In neither study do we truly ever test the null hypothesis of a theory (business/economics especially). Instead its a little more like constantly cycling between the first two steps of the scientific method: making an observation, and forming a hypothesis, then making another observation, then making another hypothesis... theres so many more variables involved in these fields that its really difficult to thoroughly test anything.

This has been happening in science for years.

Hot take (??): The research on gender affirming medicine will end up being the centre of a "flashy but actually super low quality" scandal.
