All that makes it more important for top journals to reward replication, not less!
- jltsiren 7mo agoTop journals are not inherently prestigious. They are prestigious because they try to publish only the most interesting and most significant results. If they started publishing successful replication studies, they would lose prestige, and more interesting journals would eventually rise to the top. (Replication studies that fail to replicate a major result in a spectacular way are another matter.)
