Abstract

The scientific community is currently grappling with a widespread and concerning issue known as the 
reproducibility crisis, wherein a substantial number of published research findings cannot be reliably reproduced 
by other researchers. This crisis has far-reaching implications for the credibility and progress of scientific 
knowledge. This paper aims to delve into the causes of the reproducibility crisis, examining various factors 
contributing to the phenomenon. The causes explored in this paper include methodological flaws, publication bias, 
inadequate statistical practices, and the pressure to publish novel and positive results. Additionally, the role of 
technological advancements and the growing complexity of experiments will be considered. The impact of these 
factors on the reliability and generalizability of research findings will be thoroughly analyzed.
