This workshop brings together an interdisciplinary group of
researchers interested in issues of scientific error. Participants share
their views on how scientific errors can be detected and corrected, how
they influence scientific communities, and the
perception of science as a whole.
The topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to:
o replicability of research findings
o statistical
and social reforms to address error (e.g., Bayesian vs frequentist
statistics, publication practices, incentive structures)
o evidence aggregation, meta-analysis, and evidence hierarchies
o error propagation and error correction
o values in science, and their impact on scientific error
o trust in science, science denial, etc.
Submissions on any of these topics are welcome, either as contributed talks or as posters. More information can be found on the workshop website.
The workshop is sponsored by ERC Starting Investigator Grant No. 640638, “Making Scientific Inferences More Objective”: https://msio.wordpress.com.
