> social prestige and respect
This one is the showstopper. No matter what you do with rules and regulations, if people aren't impressed by it at a watercooler conversation, or when chatting at a cocktail party at a conference, or when showing a politician around in your lab then nothing else matters.
How prestigious something is is not a lever you control.
- BobaFloutist 2y agoThere absolutely exist skilled scientists that would happily make a living unglamorously replicating studies, if the money was there. Prestige is a nice motivator, but making a living at all is always the baseline, and is often sufficient.
- jimbokun 2y agoThere needs to be a new norm where prestige and respect is conveyed by having a replicated result. Not just the initial paper.
