The talks where held in relation to 5 topics and are listed in the chronological order as they were held at the symposium.

Topic 1: How do scientists generate ideas?
Topic 2: What is replication and its impact and its value?
Topic 3: How are our statistics, methods & measurement practises affecting our capacities to identify robust findings? Does the distinction between exploratory (hypotheses generating) and confirmatory (hypothesis generating) research matter?

EVENT INFO

Poster Presentation at the Metascience 2019 Symposium

Date: September 5th-8th, 2019
Location: Stanford University, Cubberley Auditorium

During this decade, we have witnessed the emergence of a new discipline called metascience, metaresearch, or the science of science. Most exciting was the fact that this is emerging as a truly interdisciplinary enterprise with contributors from every domain of research. This symposium served as a formative meeting for metascience as a discipline. The meeting brought together leading scholars that are investigating questions related to themes such as:

  • How do scientists generate ideas?
  • How are our statistics, methods, and measurement practices affecting our capacity to identify robust findings?
  • Does the distinction between exploratory and confirmatory research matter?
  • What is replication and its impact and its value?
  • How do scientists interpret and treat evidence?
  • What are the cultures and norms of science?
