Most discussions of the reproducibility crisis focus on its epistemic aspect: the fact that the scientific community fails to follow some norms of scientific investigation, which leads to high rates of irreproducibility via a high rate of false positive findings. The purpose of this paper is to argue that there is a heretofore underappreciated and understudied dimension to the reproducibility crisis in experimental psychology and neuroscience that may prove to be at least as important as the epistemic dimension. This is the communication dimension. The link between communication and reproducibility is immediate: independent investigators would not be able to recreate an experiment whose design or implementation were inadequately described. I exploit evidence of a replicability and reproducibility crisis in computational science, as well as research into quality of reporting to support the claim that a widespread failure to adhere to reporting standards, especially the norm of descriptive completeness, is an important contributing factor in the current reproducibility crisis in experimental psychology and neuroscience.

双重麻烦？实验心理学和神经科学中可再现性危机的传播维度

关于可再现性危机的大多数讨论都集中在它的认识论方面：科学界未能遵循某些科学研究规范这一事实，由于高比例的假阳性结果而导致不可再现性的高发生率。本文的目的是证明，迄今为止，实验心理学和神经科学中的可再现性危机存在一个未被充分认识和研究的维度，该维度可能至少与认知维度同样重要。这是沟通的维度。沟通与可重复性之间的联系是直接的：独立研究人员将无法重新创建其设计或实现描述不足的实验。我利用了计算科学中可复制性和可再现性危机的证据，
