That doesn’t fix the incentives, people will just commit fraud when replicating results so they can perform more original research.

- jimbokun 2y agoDon't require the replication to be successful. Failure to replicate a result is just as valuable as successfully replicating a result.
- __turbobrew__ 2y agoIt is a lot easier to just falsely prove the experiment since the data is already there and the publisher of the paper is not going to push back if you confirm it. Why go through all the work of actually proving/disproving the experiment when you can just change tweak the numbers of the original experiment, say you actually reproduced the experiment, and then move on?
- KajMagnus 2y ago> say you actually reproduced the experiment And get a nice $100k too for close to zero effort! (Having in mind: "plus another $100,000 which you could use to publish a replication")
