Abstract

Statisticians play a key role in almost all scientific research. But are they also the key to solving the reproducibility crisis? Heidi Seibold, Alethea Charlton, Anne-Laure Boulesteix and Sabine Hoffmann urge statisticians to take an active role in promoting more replicable and more credible science.
