Research integrity papers among top 10 most shared in 2019

It is vital to make clear to the public that not all sciences share the reproducibility crisis to the same extent., The media does not usually point out that the status of the "hard" sciences (chemistry, physics, geology, etc.) in this respect is likely better than that of the "soft" sciences because of the large difference in the number of objective "instrumentally measurable" concepts available to each group. (i.e. used properly, current and voltage meters seldom give readings that are influenced by weather or politics.) Whether more objective instrumentation can be developed for the life sciences remains an open question, but the outlook is promising. Xrays, NMR scans, clever optics and electrocardiograms and other developments of the hard sciences have all been found useful in the soft sciences. These are not meters of course; Interpretation is still required.
