I don't know what domain you work in. The modest 1986 editorial statement from the Journal of Fluids Engineering is still pretty much a gold standard for rigor in real-world applications and is exceedingly rarely achieved in domains where direct observational data is hard to come by (most of geophysics, much of biophysics, etc.).
