US scientists have been publishing personal opinions about how there is no crisis. Meanwhile, the Dutch Royal Academy of Sciences held a meeting where they complained about not being critical enough in their recent very critical report on low replicability due to sloppy science.https://twitter.com/RikPeels/status/973839440157335553 …

OK, but wouldn’t you agree that there is plenty of denial/pushback on both continents, as well as a lot of reform-minded people on both?

If you think of pushback from Europeans, who comes to mind? I can think of maybe Wolfgang Stroebe and Fritz Strack. And maybe Klaus Fiedler, but he's against every dominant development as a matter of scientific principle so that doesn't count.

Dijksterhuis? I haven’t tried to make an inventory, but my sense is it’s not a US/Europe divide as much as a subset of very senior people with established positions who are mainly objecting. Also I doubt that casting it as a geographical difference is a good strategy for reform.

Dijksterhuis was full on helpful in the last RRR. He's fully acknowledging the problems, has been since I talked to him last years ago, right after he did the pilots preparing for the RRR. Not meant to argue for a divide - but cultural differences are a thing.

Dutch government has been especially progressive on this front. OK, I might not have needed to put this against the US papers I read this morning, but those were on my mind, and not in a good way.

Is that because some of the most high profile early cases (e.g. Stapel) were located in Dutch institutions (there was at least one high profile other in my own field; unbelievable data which was in the end outed)? But very progressive, I agree. Haven't heard much in the UK

Yes, matters a lot (there was a lot of emotion). But - the case was such a big deal, already because of differences in how we deal with fraud cases. Stapel and Smeesters were extremely public affairs - not hidden away as often happens in (sorry!) the US.

It is disappointing that influential people still say cases of suspected misconduct should be handled quietly, and non-replication and error should be hushed up to maintain public belief in science. There have been high-profile investigations in the US, e.g. Marc Hauser.

I wonder if you saw this paper, by Thomas Pettigrew, sugarcoating the "crisis".http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0146167218756033 …
