在过去的15年里，“可重复性危机”一直是科学界最重要的事件之一，并导致了整个研究领域的重大政策变化。然而，丑闻、不可重复的研究和危机的呼声在科学界已经发生了几十年。这篇文章试图解释为什么可重复性危机已经扎根并成为科学政策中的一股力量，而以前的危机却没有。简而言之，我们认为这是一群我们称之为元科学家的科学活动家在科学、制度和文化方面的努力。Metascience是一项科学的社会运动，旨在利用量化和实验来诊断研究实践中的问题并提高效率。它将数据科学家、实验和统计方法学家以及开放科学活动家聚集到一个兼具智力和政策维度的项目中。元科学家在赢得资助、推动新闻报道和改变科学机构、期刊和大学的政策方面取得了显著的成功。社会运动视角有助于理解可重复性危机叙事的普及和影响，并为科学机构适应不断变化的政治和技术环境提供了建议。
The “reproducibility crisis” has been one of the most significant stories in science in the past 15 years and has led to significant policy changes across the research landscape. Yet, scandals, irreproducible studies, and cries of crisis have occurred for decades in science. This article seeks to explain why the reproducibility crisis has taken root and become a force in science policy in ways previous crises have not. In short, we argue that it was through the scientific, institutional, and cultural efforts of a group of scientific activists we are calling metascientists. Metascience is a scientific social movement that seeks to use quantification and experimentation to diagnose problems in research practice and improve efficiency. It draws together data scientists, experimental and statistical methodologists, and open science activists into a project with both intellectual and policy dimensions. Metascientists have been remarkably successful at winning grants, motivating news coverage, and changing policies at science agencies, journals, and universities. The social movement lens is useful for understanding the popularization and impact of the reproducibility crisis narrative and suggests ways the institutions of science are adapting to meet a changing political and technological landscape.
