Whether we need to create a new system that is designed to catch fraud prior to publication is a whole different question
That system already exists. It’s what replication studies are for. Whether we desperately need to massively bolster the amount of replication studies done is the question, and the answer is ‘yes’.

But that’s not S E X Y! We need new research, to earn grants and subsidize faculty pay!
An institute for reproducibility would be awesome
Agree! Maybe efforts spent working on projects assigned from the IFR would be rewarded with grant funds or grant extensions for novel projects.
