Figure 9 (A) Changes in research waste types every 4 years. The horizontal axis of the figure represents the time period (every 4 years) and the vertical axis represents the number of articles published. Different colors represent different steps, mainly: registration (red), research design (blue), termination (green), results reporting (purple), publication (orange), citation (yellow), and those that are not explicitly categorized are labeled as other (brown). (B) Research design category diagram. This figure illustrates the main types of research waste in experimental design.
