Crisis in basic research: scientists publish too much Scientists slice their results up into as many publications as they can, and the result is that a large portion of research output is unnecessary, say scientists.
Basic research: Mistakes can lead to the biggest discoveries Do not fear failure. It could be the first step towards the next important scientific discovery, says Peter Kjærgaard, director of the Natural History Museum of Denmark.
Basic research crisis? Many results cannot be replicated Many scientific studies cannot be replicated and this is symptomatic of a wider crisis in basic research, say scientists.
