Personal experience. It is great that the replication issue is getting attention, but really that is a minor aspect of the problem. Producing reproducible reports of your research is supposed to be the easy part... The real difficulty is how results are interpreted. What I was taught to do (along with basically my entire worldwide cohort of research colleagues) is test a "null hypothesis" rather than my hypothesis. Then when the null hypothesis was deemed to be inconsistent with the data, I was supposed to conclude my hypothesis was supported, with at most some hand-waving about other explanations. A crucial part of scientific research is distinguishing between different explanations for the results, and this is almost never found (at least for fields like medicine, psych, etc). If we can get the public eye to look behind that curtain, oh man...
