Overuse refers to the excessive and inappropriate use of a particular resource, substance, or behavior, often resulting in negative consequences for individuals and the environment. In the context of research, overuse can occur when researchers rely on a limited number of studies or sources to draw conclusions, leading to biased or incomplete findings. Overuse of research methodologies, data, or statistical techniques can also result in inaccurate results and a lack of reproducibility in scientific studies. Addressing overuse in research requires diversifying sources, approaches, and data, as well as promoting transparency and collaboration within the scientific community.
