    it’s the exercise of soft power from the state that has always made academic pursuits suspect, if you go against the narrative you might find your funding cut. but I’m sure OP can speak for themselves.

        it’s the threat of losing funding not the withholding of funding before the fact.

        self censorship is much cheaper than any other form of enforcement.

          As someone who’s been a STEM researcher for about a decade, this person has no clue what they are talking about

              reproduction studies

              What the hell are you talking about, what is a reproduction study?

              You either mean a reproducible study or a study specifically on something reproducing which is irrelevant. Again you don’t even know what you are talking about and 3 from college, I work in industry now so I don’t publish. We also directly collaborate with a large university and a national laboratory, so I know a thing or two about how grant funding is acquired from both an academic and industrial side(industries such as mine actually fund studies that do get publicly published). There are absolutely issues with politics in academia, it just isn’t what you are describing.

                can you clean my teeth while you’re in there?

                and I meant Replication Study thought you already answered that question.

          and you think publishing won’t allow journals to sell stories to the press and sell more copies and shake up the industry, leading to awareness and campaigns to fund the scientist? there’s like no information online on self-censorship in academia, not even from 2nd world countries, so this sounds really sketchy.
