1. What is the file drawer problem?
- Scientists have too disorganised "file drawers" which causes many issues with performing experiments and interpreting results
- Some studies are never performed despite their potential, instead they are simply stored away in file drawers and never give us the insight they could
- Only studies that "work" get published, so there are drawers full of failed studies that we never hear of and we only get to read the one that did
- There are too many studies in the drawers of scientists that they can never properly read and evaluate all of them
