> It takes too much work to verify everything in every field personally, you wouldn't be able to move at all. Does it? The rate of paper production is so high that it has become a logistical problem in and of itself and wild goose chases are common. Surely some of that energy could be profitably redirected into replication and consolidation. The black mark system could work but seems like a recipe for some nasty politics. I tend to think that baking replication into the culture might be a better approach -- science advanced beyond secret-hoarding when information sharing became institutionally valued, and I believe that it could advance beyond p-hacking if replication became institutionally valued. Fund & cite replication efforts and the rest will follow.
