Reply to comment by Hattix in JAXA team falsified data on research about long space stay by Saltedline

Its not 100% tho. Just because something says 'peer reviewed' in an article doesn't mean they actually replicate the data. They just see if the methods and data seem proper. And some studies don't even offer the complete methodology so even if you wanted you wouldn't be able to replicate it.

That's because it's almost impossible. Even if I did include the complete methodology, someone would have to write the code to implement the method. If it takes me an entire PhD to correctly research a problem and write code to solve a problem, there is no way someone else is replicating that. They can just look over it and see if the underlying theory and assumptions are valid.

There are many incorrect papers out there, but that doesn't make it bad research, sometimes you need to start with simple assumptions and others will build on that.

Most data (in physics at least) is not replicated, you just have to lay out the steps so someone could theoretically replicate it.
