1. An example of a high-profile data fabrication includes the recent scandal centering around analysis of the effectiveness of Gay Rights Canvassing (LaCour and Green Citation2014) that, after much national attention, was retracted after being discovered by someone outside the peer-review process (Konnikova, Citation2015). An example of a data mistake from another discipline includes the now infamous finding by prominent economists that high levels of government debt lead to negative economic growth. The mistake was caught by a graduate student trying to replicate the finding (Alexander Citation2013). Finally, recent concerns in political science (Lupia and Elman Citation2014) and psychology (Open Science Collaboration Citation2015) over low rates of replicability also feed into a greater fixation on transparency and replicability.
