Maybe scientists should first set their own house in order.

* Reproducibility crisis - http://www.nature.com/news/1-500-scientists-lift-the-lid-on-...

* P-hacking http://www.nature.com/news/scientific-method-statistical-err...

* Prominent scientists criticizing those who find math errors in their works http://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2016/9/30/13077658/sta... (There are few facts more basic than math, and one of the scientists actually used the words "methodologic terrorism" to describe this effort)

* Not publishing raw data so others can analyze it http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/neuroskeptic/2016/08/16/sc...

These issues, especially the last two make it seem that a lot of scientists are not fighting for the facts, but for their own academic position.

By scientists you do mean Elsevier shareholders, right?
