"More than 70% of researchers have tried and failed to reproduce another scientist's experiments, and more than half have failed to reproduce their own experiments.”
Monya Baker
A good understanding of the problem can help us to improve the situation with reproducibility and replicability crisis a lot. In our world with its monetary system, centralization and competition, some data sources are not freely accessible, large-scale data access can be expensive, software tools used in studies may not be available to others or be too expensive, and there may be lack of sufficient methodological details to enable full direct reproducibility and replicability. Plus, some of the studies just may never see the light of day, because the peer review process in your world is quite centralized, corrupted, and too slow. In the context of decentralization, open-source environment, and collaboration, a lot of the projects allowed us to address these issues. But the situation is not perfect. Probably we need a scientific revolution to happen questioning the basic assumptions of the theory we live in accordance with right now here. Maybe we could learn something from nature in this case. Also, it is possible that the problem has something to do with cognitive biases which we haven't got rid of completely yet.

Scientific knowledge can be hidden because of the language barrier. There are more than 7,151 languages spoken across the world.
Even though it is important to preserve the linguistic diversity, it is this diversity that increases the chances that important discoveries might get lost for different linguistic communities. You can't expect that the global community of translators will be able to translate all the research papers published in our world by hand. And there're near 2 million of them produced per year. What's more, research showed that the language we speak shapes the way we think. Our language is a tool that allows us to perceive and comprehend reality. Almost all research is conducted with the help of English.

"The even worse news is that almost everything we know about the human mind and human brain is based on studies of usually American English-speaking undergraduates at universities. That excludes almost all humans, right? So, what we know about the human mind is actually incredibly narrow and biased, and our science has to do better.

"Learning is more than absorbing facts, it is acquiring understanding”
William Arthur Ward

It takes a lot of creativity to educate yourself. While it is so, and we know that money as a motivator blocks creativity, we have not completely separated our educational system from monetary rewards yet. We want to run some experiments to better understand the nature of learning.

WThere are some projects that help us with assessment of the investment potential of our innovations like ScientificCoin and Molecule. For example, ScientificCoin project, which is under construction, provides tools to assess innovations in two phases. The first one is accomplished by a mathematical algorithm that evaluates projects based on near 70 different parameters of 5 categories. And the second one is done by the crowd of individuals with different background. This allows to evaluate the project from different angles in the most rational way. Then, the projects get listed on ScientificCoin crowdfunding platform based on the overall rating. And Molecule protocol provides asset-evaluation framework and other tools.

"Studies show that monetary incentives do not always improve performance, and can frequently decrease results. Incentives are often due to the beliefs that people hold, sometimes even putting their own lives at risk for them. Clearly, this outweighs the motivation of a monetary reward. Doing what people believe is “good” is a powerful reinforcer.” https://www.thevenusproject.com/multimedia/the_goal/

You have been living your whole life in the context of monetary system and centralization. That's what made your science and scientists «sick». Money is just an interface to allocate resources among habitants. The “Candle problem” experiment showed that money as an extrinsic motivator narrows our focus, inhibits thinking, limits abilities, and blocks creativity. It will take some time, but your creativity will be reconditioned in the appropriate decentralized collaborative environment. You will have that intrinsic motivation to do things because they are interesting and matter, that inner drive which will help you to solve scientific problems.

Priorities. Coming soon...

"I look forward to a time when open commentary and review replace the current, flawed system of closed prepublication peer review and its false reassurances about the reliability of what is published”
Fiona Godlee

One of the main problems with publishing is peer review. The process is centralized, slow, and quite often biased and corrupted. Reviews themselves are not available to readers, only to a small group of individuals. So the readers can not benefit from the reviews and discuss them with reviewers. In DeSciLand, all reviews are open to everyone to contribute. Peer review organized in a decentralized way is much more rational and faster compared to traditional process.

"While such biases may have been adaptive heuristics that promoted survival and reproduction in the Pleistocene environment of our evolutionary past, in today's world of technological sophistication, industrial power and mass societies, psychological biases can lead to disasters on an unprecedented scale. It is a better understanding of human psychology - 'the tragedy of thinking' - that may ultimately tip the balance against the seeds of our own destruction.”
Dominic Johnson

Cognitive biases may contribute not only to reproducibility and replicability crisis, but also to other problems our science deals with. The bias called substitution bias is one of the underlying reasons that lead your traditional science to its state. It forces our minds to answer an easier question. So, in our world, everything is motivated by the answer to "How much money will we get?" question, while it would be better to ask, "What data do people need in order to thrive in this world? We need to do our best to ensure that our scientists get educated appropriately about cognitive biases and their impact on scientific research. All the challenges our modern science faces are partially caused by cognitive biases. So, when it comes to an overall crisis of traditional science, it is a better understanding of the tragedy of thinking that may help to «heal» the science in your world and improve it in ours.

"Open source is an intellectual-property destroyer. I can't imagine something that could be worse than this for the software business and the intellectual-property business.”
Jim Allchin

Molecule is basically a marketplace for intellectual property powered by web3 technology. Using the power of Ethereum, NFTs, and DeFi, they pioneered so-called IP-NFTs (intellectual property turned into NFTs) that helped to reduce bureaucracy and increase transparency in IP sector. These NFTs can be easily funded, traded, and collaborated on. Another project that is using a similar concept and working on a marketplace for scienctific IP-NFTs is SciFi.

Projects that provide cryptocurrency crowdfunding platforms are ScientificCoin, DeSci Collective, The Science DAO, and Impact Finance. ResearchHub also has plans to add the ability to support research projects financially and possibly even develop a grant-making organization in the future. DeSci Foundation and Science Fund support the mission as well. Most of them are still under development. These projects provide crowdfunding opportunities for all areas of science. And there are some projects that focus on specific areas. For example, VitaDAO specializes on funding longevity research, PsyDAO deals with psychedelics, Crowd Funded Cures focuses on funding public good medicines, BioDAO on funding life saving therapeutics, and Gitcoin can help with funding of DeSci projects themselves. NFTs also can be used for crowdfunding. Projects that leverage the power of NFTs for this purpose include SciFi (developed by SCINET team), Molecule, VitaDAO, PsyDAO. RMDS Lab is working on a marketplace for scientific NFTs which might help with funding research as well.

"Information sharing is power. If you don't share your ideas, smart people can't do anything about them, and you'll remain anonymous and powerless.”
Vint Cerf, ‘Father of the Internet’

In an open-source environment everything is open for everyone, because there's no reason to hide information. We do not compete here, we collaborate! So, you can easily get access right now to all the data available in our world without bothering about the paywalls set by the journals or big corporations hiding the ideas that possess a threat to their profits. Let's start with STEMSocial. It was built for researchers and readers to communicate directly, without any third parties involved. STEMSocial promotes freedom of speech and is powered by the Hive blockchain. The latter ensures immutability of the information published by STEMSocial community. Hence, nobody can change or delete the information, except for the authors themselves. STEMSocial community members are also rewarded with cryptocurrency for their efforts. STEMGeeks platform is similar to STEMSocial but is less academic and focuses on publishing popular science content.
