I feel like it's worth a reminder to those reading this that replication isn't just about preventing fraud. I've personally seen far fewer examples of fraud than I have cases where difficulty reproducing results led to the discovery of considerations affecting the experiment that happened to present in the original experiment, but that the original researchers might not have thought of, or thought significant.
