Science aims to document the world accurately, but recent evidence suggests that this is not always the case. This book offers a behavioral science perspective on how scientific practice can be compromised and provides recommendations for improvement. It addresses the full complexity of research integrity, including replication, publication biases, statistics, and methods, and discusses the weaknesses of meta-analysis. The book concludes with an organizing framework to investigate how scientists' behaviors can impact the reliability and validity of scientific research.

Science's ultimate objective is to attain accuracy, a quest that drives scientists to meticulously document the world as it exists. While erroneous conclusions and flawed theories may occasionally arise, they can only be tolerated if reliable mechanisms for self-correction are in place. However, a growing body of evidence suggests that this may not always be the case.
This book presents a behavioral science perspective on how scientific practice can be compromised and offers recommendations for improvement. By expanding the discussion of research integrity beyond replication, publication biases, statistics, and methods, this book addresses the full complexity of the issue and caters to academics and policy makers concerned with the reliability and validity of scientific findings across the social sciences. It tackles challenges presented by published reports and textbooks, explores how institutional review boards (IRBs) can influence the course of research, and discusses the limitations of meta-analysis, which is often recommended as a potential corrective measure for suboptimal scientific practice.
The book concludes with an organizing framework to investigate how scientists' behaviors can impact the reliability and validity of scientific research.
