The Reproducibility Project
Take a look at one of the following articles that describe issues related to the original project:
The Results of the Reproducibility Project Are In. They’re Not Good. https://www.chronicle.com/article/the-results-of-the-reproducibility-project-are-in-theyre-not-good/
Over half of psychology studies fail reproducibility test
https://www.nature.com/news/over-half-of-psychology-studies-fail-reproducibility-test-1.18248
And then read some counterarguments:

And, finally, follow-ups to the reproducibility project:
