The Cardinal Sins of Skewed Research, Part 3: Sweeping

2

Drs. Michael and Mary Dan Eades describe the third cardinal sin of scientific research: sweeping under the rug any negative or unexpected results discovered in the process of testing a hypothesis. Negative and surprising results, they argue, are just as important to the collective advancement of science as positive outcomes. Nevertheless, published research long has reflected a positive outcome bias, and worse, non-reporting often betrays a conflict of interest or self-serving maneuver. They call for “a liberal dose of disinfecting sunlight” on the methods for research reporting and a new broom "that sweeps research back out from under the rug."

Knowing what actually works and what is false is just as important. We need to know what doesn't support hypothesis. This is how we think or alternatives and keep moving forward.

In some ways, the data that refutes the hypothesis is the most important; and yet, the least likely to be published.
