Description
Energy saving in research might be expected to rank as a priority of social responsibility. Energy saving in research does not and must not clash with quality in research. Publication of irreproducible results β the reproducibility crisis β is the most wasteful aspect of research in terms of resources including energy (more properly: exergy). Paywall journalism is wasteful in terms of financial resources, but should be considered in terms wasting energy resources [1].
Do scientists take responsibility for energy saving? Or does biomedical research merely find excuses?
