So is Nature itself taking any steps to address the issue?

I think we need a fundamentally different approach to scientific publishing. It’s completely absurd that there’s probably a bunch of unintended replication studies because the research groups can’t know that their study has already been done.

And the expectation to actually read that avalanche of articles in even a niche subject is absolutely bonkers. 95% of articles are effectively write-only and will never have any impact whatsoever.

Agreed and I wonder if this isn’t a job that an AI might be able to help with: reading all the papers and at the very least, looking for key research subjects to compile for readers?
