Abstract
Wagenmakers and Forstmann argue that journals (and journal editors) should actively solicit replication attempts to confirm important findings (Wagenmakers & Forstmann, 2013). They point out, correctly in our opinion, that current incentive structures in science discourage scientists from adopting practices that are advantageous for science as a whole, because they leave individual scientists disadvantaged relative to their peers. Replication is one example of this, although there are others, such as the general lack of enthusiasm for publishing null results. Much of this arises from the current “publish or perish” culture within science.
