I think the author addressed your concern:
> Ask journal editors and scientific peers to review study designs and analysis plans and commit to publish the results if the study is conducted and reported in a professional manner (which will be ensured by a second round of peer review).
If the study design is peer reviewed, I would hazard a guess that there would be less bad science, not more. Currently study design takes second priority to significant results, which is perhaps why we have the problems of inconsistent research in the first place.
