If we have a reproducibility crisis in psychological research, it seems to me like one of the best things we can do to address it is to incentivize people to try reproduce other group's findings. It's not sexy and it won't earn headlines, but it is important. The absolute best way to kill such an effort is for a journal that published a bad study to refuse to even consider publishing a study that refutes it.
