The scientific community has become more aware of issues surrounding reproducibility. We should remain cognizant that as we develop better understanding we can revise our knowledge of a problem and scientific findings that are considered valid today might not be in the future.
Mapping out the electronic phase diagram of superconducting materials is a common approach toward developing a more complete understanding of the key ingredients that allow certain materials to superconduct at high temperatures. Phases characterized by spin, charge, orbital and lattice degrees of freedom may compete or coexist with each other (Fig. 1). It is often the case that these phase diagrams become more detailed and complex as more powerful experimental methods are applied to probe these materials.
