How can unreproducible results impact research and industry?
Unreproducible results can have several negative implications:
1. Wasted Resources: Time, money, and materials are wasted on experiments that cannot be reliably reproduced.
2. Misleading Conclusions: False positives or negatives can lead researchers down unproductive paths, delaying scientific progress.
3. Loss of Credibility: Consistent unreproducibility can harm the reputation of researchers and institutions, undermining trust in their findings.
4. Industrial Risks: In industries relying on catalytic processes, unreproducible results can lead to inefficiencies, increased costs, and even safety hazards.
