Maybe we need a journal completely dedicated to replication studies? It would attract a lot of attention I think.

We already have archival journals. What's missing is funding and any prospect of career advancement.

Is there a viable career path for researchers who choose to focus on replication instead of novel discoveries? I assume replications are perceived as less prestigious, but it's also important work.
