The Decline Effect: Evidence, Explanations, and Future Directions

A Symposium at the University of California, Santa Barbara, co-organized by Jonathan Schooler and Jan Walleczek, and sponsored by the Fetzer Franklin Fund. The participants sought advances in understanding how various scientific practices may negatively impact the search for truth and objectivity, and how the development of new protocols and open-access methodologies might best address the current reproducibility crisis in science.
