ON THE COVER
Tropical corals and
reef fishes (like the fish
Priacanthus
sp. and
the coral
Turbinaria
mesenterina
shown
here) are in global
decline. Recovery in
degraded reefs may
be limited because
dispersing juveniles from these groups are
attracted to chemical cues produced by
organisms in healthy reefs and are repelled
by cues from seaweeds in degraded areas.

Science
serves as a forum for discussion of important issues related to the advancement of science by publishing material on which a consensus has
been reached as well as including the presentation of minority of conflicting points of view. Accordingly, all articles published in
Science—including
editorials, news and comment, and books reviews—are signed and reflect the individual views of the authors and not official points of view adopted by

A swan in the making

eproducibility is the ugly duckling of science.
It provokes distress, denial, and passionate
calls for action. With $1.5 trillion spent globally
each year on R&D,* the idea that 80% of it is
irreproducible† can cause downright dread. It
threatens the foundations and credibility of the
scientific enterprise. But look past the surface,
and reproducibility may well be a swan in the making.
In my previous role
in industrial microbe and
process engineering, I saw
quality practices double
the productivity of R&D
and deliver microbes from
half-liter
fermentations
to 200,000-liter manufac-
turing with absolute per-
formance reproducibility.
That kind of outcome is
electrifying.
Achieving such repro-
ducibility in every lab may
offer one of the greatest
opportunities in decades
to advance the practice of
science. The path to trans-
formation already exists;
we need only look into the
“unsexy” world of manufac-
turing to learn.
After World War II, the
teachings of engineer W.
Edwards Deming on qual-
ity helped revolutionize a
Japanese
manufacturing
industry then known for
cheap, unreliable products.
By the 1980s, the quality
of Japanese products was shaking the foundations of
American electronics and car companies. Today, such
uncompromising quality is ubiquitous and expected.
This kind of quality didn’t “just happen.” When I
was an intern at a General Motors subsidiary in the
1980s, the halls were rife with complaints that it was
impossible to meet new and stricter specifications.
Discussions today in the halls of science are not so
different. Researchers complain about the seemingly
impossible task of tracking all the variables needed to
ensure reproducibility; they question whether the ob-
session with reproducibility is overkill; and they fear
that the methods of quality improvement will snuff
“Achieving reproducible
research…will take a collective
movement to change the
incentives, culture, and tool sets
of science.”
out the flexibility needed to innovate.
Such reactions are actually quite correct. Today’s
methods of manufacturing quality are too cumbersome
and too restrictive for the dynamic and evolutionary
nature of scientific thinking.
It’s time to fix that.
Behavioral economics has shown that removing
even trivial hurdles can vastly improve the adoption of
beneficial practices. In one
randomized study, people
were 29% more likely to
attend college when their
student aid forms were
automatically populated.‡
Similarly, the digital capa-
bilities in your pocket can
lower the barriers to qual-
ity by automating most of
its complexity. For example,
my own company is build-
ing tools to automate data
acquisition via mobile de-
vices, break down lab pro-
cedures into modular steps
that are evolvable and reus-
able like lines of software
code, and automatically
analyze data trends within
and across experiments to
catch errors and their root
causes. Other companies
are also contributing to a
fast-growing ecosystem of
related tools.
Achieving reproducible
research—research we can
trust
and
build
on
efficiently, like high-quality
parts in a supply chain—will take a collective move-
ment to change the incentives, culture, and tool sets of
science. The good news is that movement has begun.
Publishers, funders, foundations, universities, regu-
lators, and companies are raising visibility, develop-
ing standards, and creating tools and incentives that
make reproducible research more accessible and more
rewarding.
It is often said that the first step in solving a prob-
lem is recognizing that you have one. Step one…check.
The scientific community is aware and taking action.
The ugly duckling is becoming a swan.
