How about the threshold for publishability is that two independent groups come up with the same conclusion? So you have to partner with another team somewhere else in the world in order to get published, and then you get joint credit.
- chmod600 4y agoI think there's a powerful incentive to be first, which drives people to research in the face of so much doubt. Trying to convince one lab that the idea is worth funding is hard enough. Two labs is just unrealistic. My idea hacks around the problem by not diminishing that huge incentive to be first. Even if your paper is retracted due to lack of repro study, you were still the first, and if it does repro you are back to full credit. I just add an extra incentive to get people who cite the study to verify that its reproducible. And at the same time, give the original author more incentive to include lots of details in their papers so it's more likely to be reproduced, and lock in their fame.
