We need to make it a lot cooler for researchers to not do original research all the time but to do replication and peer review. We should also demand publication of failures -- it's ok to fail, but only if you publish about the failure.
The whole publish-or-perish culture is a disaster that incentivizes cheating.
It should be considered just as valuable to have a few grad students working on replication as on original research, and that should not hurt the students' prospects.

I really want to have a journal that just publishes interesting duds. Someone else might look at your methodology and get their own idea.
