Warning: this ScienceAlert article misunderstands the original paper and claims that non-replicated studies are 153 times as likely to be cited as replicated ones. This outrageous figure is not what the authors claimed.
Authors claim "cited 153 times less": ambiguous language, where they really meant "cited 153 fewer times". ScienceAlert writer turned that into "153 times more likely".
