The T-experiments: errors in scientific software
This paper covers two very large experiments carried out concurrently between 1990 and 1994, together known as the T-experiments. Experiment T1 had the objective of measuring the consistency of several million lines of scientific software written in C and Fortran 77 by static deep-flow analysis across many different industries and application areas, and experiment T2 had the objective of measur...
متن کاملRampant software errors undermine scientific results
Errors in scientific results due to software bugs are not limited to a few high-profile cases that lead to retractions and are widely reported. Here I estimate that in fact most scientific results are probably wrong if data have passed through a computer, and that these errors may remain largely undetected. The opportunities for both subtle and profound errors in software and data management ar...
متن کاملScientific Impacts of Wind Direction Errors
An assessment on the scientific impact of random errors in wind direction (< 45°) retrieved from space-based observations under weak wind (< 7 m/s) conditions was made. Half of the winds over global oceans are below 7 m/s, in their long-term averages, and these weak winds cover most of the tropical, subtropical , and coastal oceans. Introduction of these errors in the semi-daily winds causes, o...
متن کاملScientific author names: errors, corrections, and identity profiles
Authorship problems are deep-rooted in the field of science communication. Some of these relate to lack of specific journal instructions. For decades, experts in journal editing and publishing have been exploring the authorship criteria and contributions deserving either co-authorship or acknowledgment. The issue of inconsistencies of listing and abbreviating author names has come to the fore l...
متن کاملTeaching the Nature of Science through Scientific Errors
Error in science is a prime occasion to teach the nature of science, especially the central feature of tentativeness. Error types also reflect corresponding methodologies of science, critical for practicing science and (in a context of scientific literacy) analyzing its claims. Effective efforts in teaching about error will ideally be informed by earlier educational perspectives and a schema fo...
