Congratulations, Your Study Went Nowhere
I&#x27;ve had an idea about this problem that I&#x27;d be happy to hear your thoughts about:<p>Simply put, a promise for an independant future reproduction study should be part of the published paper.<p>Once a researcher achieves a publishable result, she looks for a peer-researcher that will commit to perform a pre-determined reproduction study in the near future. This promise is written in the original paper.<p>This ensures that a negative reproduction would definitely be published. It incentivises the original researcher to not mess too much with the data post-hoc, and to be as helpful as possible to their reproducing peer. The peer gets a citing <i>before</i> writing the paper, and all the help they&#x27;d want to get the study done as quickly and easily as possible (q&amp;a, analysis code etc).
