A famous professor, John P.A. Ioannidis, was invited to deliver a speech in Taiwan in recent days. https://med.stanford.edu/profiles/john-ioannidis

Prof. Ioannidis is famous for the article “Why Most Published Research Findings Are False” published on PLoS Medicine in 2005.

And here’s another one of his research on “How to Make More Published Research True” published in 2014.

My point of view:

Don’t jump into conclusion too soon. Be humble and open minded.
