   1,500 scientists lift the lid on reproducibility   
      
   Survey sheds light on the 'crisis' rocking research.

   More than 70% of researchers have tried and failed to   
   reproduce another scientist's experiments, and more than   
   half have failed to reproduce their own experiments.   
   Those are some of the telling figures that emerged from   
   Nature's survey of 1,576 researchers who took a brief   
   online questionnaire on reproducibility in research.   
      
   The data reveal sometimes-contradictory attitudes towards   
   reproducibility. Although 52% of those surveyed agree   
   that there is a significant 'crisis' of reproducibility,   
   less than 31% think that failure to reproduce published   
   results means that the result is probably wrong, and most   
   say that they still trust the published literature.
