Research results on drug-gene interactions are much less likely to be replicated if they are performed by hierarchical communities or close-knit groups of frequent collaborators who use similar methods, instead of independent groups of scientists using different methods, suggests a paper published last week in eLife.

Opinion:

"Decentralising science" is repetitive redundancy. By definition, science is decentralized. Any attempt to restrict it is anti-science.
