Experiment commensurability does not necessitate research consolidation

Behav Brain Sci. 2024 Feb 5;47:e61. doi: 10.1017/S0140525X23002364.ABSTRACTIntegrative experiment design promises to foster cumulative knowledge by changing how we design experiments, build theories, and conduct research. I support the push to increase commensurability across experimental research but raise several reservations regarding results-driven and large-team-based research. I argue that it is vital to preserve academic diversity and adversarial debate via independent efforts.PMID:38311441 | DOI:10.1017/S0140525X23002364
