About

The ‘replication crisis’ has dominated methodological concerns in the social, biomedical and psychological sciences for almost two decades. In its wake, a host of associated crises have also been declared: the generalizability crisis, the measurement crisis, and the theory crisis. All raise concerns over the capacity of our current peer review and research evaluation systems to maintain a trustworthy and useful evidence base. ‘Metascience’ encompasses the study of interventions and responses to problems with the resourcing, practice and dissemination of research.

We are an interdisciplinary research group, with members from history & philosophy of science, psychology, ecology, biomedical sciences, political science and public policy. We happily embrace the methodological pluralism this brings. Read more about what we do on our projects page.
