Credibilidad o barbarie. Cómo la crisis de replicación ha desatado una revolución en Psicología y otras ciencias

Abstract

Current science is experiencing critical and revolutionary times. The emergence of the “replication crisis” has posed a historical structural challenge, alongside issues of scientific malpractice and problems stemming from a perverse incentive structure in scientific publishing. In response, various reforms have been engaged within the scientific community, known as the “credibility revolution”. This article reviews these events, how they developed, their main characteristics, and their interconnections. In doing so, we aim to inform and educate readers about these aspects. In addition, we propose new Best Research Practices in the scientific community in psychology and other fields to produce and consume more replicable and credible science. Ultimately, we seek to raise awareness and encourage participation in a better scientific community to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
