My guess is pre-Moon Landings, pre-Peer Review and pre-DoEd.


What does the moon landing have to do with it?


Nothing, it's a reference to the period not the event itself. Something went wrong in Academia sometime between the 60's and 80s, to the point where papers today routinely get both peer-approved and simultaneously can't be reproduced. Something is very wrong with our ethics.


Is there data on the reproducibility of papers both pre- and post- the alleged academic shift?
