Nature comment article: How to make replication the norm

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-02108-9

"The publishing system builds in resistance to replication."

"Replication is essential for building confidence in research studies1, yet it is still the exception rather than the rule2,3. That is not necessarily because funding is unavailable — it is because the current system makes original authors and replicators antagonists. Focusing on the fields of economics, political science, sociology and psychology, in which ready access to raw data and software code are crucial to replication efforts, we survey deficiencies in the current system."
