Article by Alexander Trevelyan:
"What has risen to the fore over the last few years in these fields is not only a replication crisis, but also a fabrication crisis. It’s a crisis that peer review—or editorial review, for that matter—currently appears utterly incapable of surmounting."

"The secrecy and deference by journal editors cultivates a culture of hesitation and silence; why risk upsetting the nasty investors and putting yourself at risk of lawsuit when there’s no discernible evidence that anything will come of it?"

@italianrepro In all fields you just see incremental improvements. That's what you can get funding for. There is no scientific method, and not much chance for something new that challenges the power structure. Groupthnk has to be shattered by external factors, not by dropping cannon balls. :)
