Go find it. Use the internet.

So you think journals are omitting methodology to save on what, printing costs?

The crisis is systemic: researchers are forced to 'publish or perish' while those dying from little understood causes are blocked from accessing said knowledge... the whole thing is designed to enrich few at the cost of the many imo, not to accurately conduct scientific investigation and communicate findings for the benefit of humans and our habitat.

Nah, I don't actually care. I grew up not trusting anyone or anything, I just know that the words replication crisis make for a great headline.

I don't disagree about the incentives for academic work being heavily perverted by the current climate, however I have yet to see anyone propose a fix that will actually be adopted by anyone but idealists. Just like open source software vs. M$ and Apple, you have true believers, and then people that are just there to make money. At the end of the day, eating is more important that holding to your ideals.

That is an extremely morally dubious claim.

Opioid overdoses are the #1 cause of death for adults 18-45 in usa... the Sacklers didn't make that happen without many accomplices with impressive science titles.
