  A recent study of the replicability of key psychological findings is a major
contribution toward understanding the human side of the scientific process.
Despite the careful and nuanced analysis reported in the paper, mass and social
media adhered to the simple narrative that only 36% of the studies replicated
their original results. Here we show that 77% of the replication effect sizes
reported were within a prediction interval based on the original effect size.
In this light, the results of Reproducibility Project: Psychology can be viewed
as a positive result for the scientific process.
