> I can't imagine anyone who truly understands the current replication failure rates thinking that a single non-replicated study is valuable for anything other than informing what replications should be attempted.
Sounds like a good idea to have a system of academic publishing that incentivises people to produce replications and similar studies then (and an academic norm of quoting multiple studies that support or oppose hypotheses)
And all that making any research that involves novel research unpublishable until someone else decides to dedicate their time to replicating the experiment from your little known working paper would achieve would be limiting incentives to experiment, especially in fields where it's perfectly possible to publish with statistical reexaminations of existing data (often flawed in other ways) instead.
