Four coordinated laboratories discovered and replicated 16 novel findings with ostensibly gold standard best practices.
An increased emphasis on falsification - the direct testing of strong hypotheses - will lead to faster progress in science by allowing well-specified hypotheses to be eliminated.
FULL TEXT. Requiring undergraduate students to perform what is termed original research for their thesis, an investigation that cannot constitute a replication of an existing study, is a failed opportunity for science and education, argues Daniel Quintana.

A cookie-cutter strategy to reform science will cause resentment, not improvement.
We use publicly available data to show that published papers in top psychology, economics, and general interest journals that fail to replicate are cited more than those that replicate. This difference in citation does not change after the publication of the failure to replicate. Only 12% of postreplication citations of nonreplicable findings acknowledge the replication failure. Existing evidence also shows that experts predict well which papers will be replicated.
The Psychological Science Accelerator could be the future of the field around the globe - if they can sustain it.
Replication, an important, uncommon, and misunderstood practice, is making a comeback in psychology.
This article examines why many studies fail to replicate statistically significant published results.
To avoid stalemates and provide lessons, replicators and original researchers must reach agreement on a study design and set out expectations ahead of time.
This perspective article proposes that the answer shifts the conception of replication from a boring, uncreative, housekeeping activity to an exciting, generative, vital contributor to research progress.
More funders and publishers must support such work and emphasize its value to the research community.
The field of replication studies remains a controversial, misunderstood.To help bring order to the chaos, the author suggests a theory of manufactured inferences.
