Replicability in social sciences.

Only 13 out of 21 (about 0.62) major studies of decade past (which were attempted to be replicated) were found replicable to significant (more than 0.75) extent.

Sample size used in replication was 5 times of the original studies. These replication efforts have been described as 'collaborative' as against 'hostile' efforts from earlier.
