I think we still agree that replications are almost never done in psychology and social science, and when done they are almost never published. This is compared to lab-based fields such as biology.
Also, mandatory pre-registrations provide some evidence that effects are exaggerated in other fields as well, see e.g. [1] for treatments for cardiovascular diseases.
There is a crisis on many fronts, but if you prefer we can call it "professionalization, finally".

This is compared to lab-based fields such as biology. If that's true, could it be a matter of funding? Social sciences receive much less, afaik. I remember going into an experimental psychology building in a major university that you've certainly heard of, though it was years ago. It was an old K-12 school, scarsely remodeled, and files were stuffed in lockers.
