@melisgl@mastodon.social True though the reason we write papers is presumably to contribute to the scientific record such that our science can be understood, potentially reproduced and built upon. That can't happen with the inconsistently incomplete info available in papers. You may argue that science does build on past discoveries but it does so by reading between the lines and educated guessing, which produces exorbitant amounts of research waste, e.g. the file-drawer problem.
