That's not easy: a reproduction is a scientific project in its own right. Some research is straightforward to reproduce, but a lot of it isn't.

That's not to say scientists shouldn't publish their data; they should.



I believe OP is suggesting that this effort be borne by the original authors making the new claims, not by society to reproduce them.

In the limit, any claims one makes are rejected unless you also provide a way to reproduce the claim.

That's a lot of work, but perhaps the world doesn't need more monkeys and typewriters creating faux Shakespeare.


What work? The original authors should reproduce their own work?
