I remember reading that an alarmingly large (forgot how large) percentage of psychology research could not be reproduced by others. In most academic fields "publish or perish" holds true, and leads to a lot of panicked iffy results. Fortunately after a time, truer science emerges. It can take a long time, like the age old, "you must drink 8 glasses of water everyday" meme had no basis but held on for many decades.
