Science, especially medicine and psychology, but all sciences to a certain degree, is having a problem with landmark (highly influential and highly cited) papers not having their results found to be true when another group tries reproducing their experiment.


This is due to a number of factors, such as publish or perish mentality, people manipulating the data, and journals not wanting to publish papers that just reproduce old ones.
