“One partial solution would be the development of an open repository of scientific findings that encourages researchers to rigorously log their methodology and predictions beforehand, and then report all of their results regardless of outcomes afterward. Such an open access repository of scientific findings might help to reduce the bias of the peer review process, and better enable us to discern spurious results from genuine discoveries.”

Then why doesn’t an all inclusive log of scientific experiments exist? It’s sad that the need to successfully publish with positive results dictates research and progress instead of what does and doesn’t work.
