Science needs an overhaul. Research is not free, if it challenges mainstream theories. There is no money for it and no publication, so it just isn't done, except on the very fringes.

The Need for Venture Science

Over the last few years, a growing chorus of insider critics have been exposing serious flaws in the ways that scientific research is funded and published, leading some to go so far as to say,”Science is broken.”

The dysfunctions they describe include:


Deliberate, unconscious, and systemic fraud
Irreproducibility of results and lack of incentive to attempt replication
Misuse of statistics, such as “P-hacking” – the mining of research data to extract a post-hoc “hypothesis” for publication
– Severe flaws in the system of peer review (see here and here), for example, its propensity to enforce existing paradigms, to be hostile to anything that challenges the views of the reviewers whose careers are invested in those views.

Publication bias that also favors positive results over negative results, and suppresses research that won't benefit a researcher's career
