There has to be similar prestige/career-building/notoriety/funding for spending time on reproducing the experiments of others. Without that shift there will clearly be a greater tendency to just try something new.
Also, when experiments depend on source code, etc. we need real engineering tools/principles applied. (Something like: “you can’t publish paper X if you aren’t including a public repository with build/run instructions”.) Unfortunately, there are all kinds of reasons why scripts/builds could fail just a few months or years later so they would have to be checked too.
I think it would be cool if document-generation caught on in the publication of papers, i.e. the paper itself is generated by running actual experiment scripts and producing charts, etc. from plain text source.
