The irreproducibility problem is serious, but it is also misunderstood

Summary:

"What role do data management, data storage, and data sharing play in medical statistics and biostatistics research?

My personal opinion is that the reproduction of results is important and necessary, but the discussions on open data and data sharing also seem a bit naive. Working with complex database structures and advanced statistical analyses presents many problems that shouldn't be underestimated. Mistakes and misunderstandings in a statistical reanalysis can easily discredit sound research findings. I believe that public sharing of data needs to be combined with measures to avoid such problems."
