Hur trovärdiga är forskningsresultat egentligen? En ny biologistudie visar att samma data kan ge olika svar beroende på analysmetod – vilket väcker frågor om vetenskapliga slutsatsers stabilitet. För att stärka trovärdigheten behöver forskare bli bättre på att redovisa metoderna. Ända sedan 1600-talet, när den moderna naturvetenskapliga forskningen såg dagens ljus, har metoderna förfinats och förb
