Hard to tell if training by SSI or so is the solution, but any kind of training would probably do way more good than bad. Sure some research code is quite difficult and not all alike your typical we/business app, but that doesn't mean universal programming principles don't apply or wouldn't make for better code. I'd also argue that pointing to the right places, in a way that sticks, i.e. with proper explanation of why those are the right places, is training.
