Thanks for the links. I'd go further: a deep misunderstanding of how science is done. What a load of parochial, self-serving nonsense.

So, anyway: does anyone know of anything approaching a comprehensive review of (a) what problems we're trying to solve (in this respect) and (b) what solutions have been proposed? Rather than piecemeal, domain-specific stuff?

I was thinking broader, but more along exploratory lines than confirmatory

There hasn't been much in the way of improving exploratory work apart from saying that we should stop framing it as confirmatory in papers, which i agree with. But the challenge is then to get journals to treat such work seriously because we're in a heavily confirmatory culture.
-
So with these changes, exploratory work pays the steepest price. We need journals to seriously commit to papers that say: here's this thing i found, it replicates but I have no idea what it means. Science used to work that way.

Is the journal problem parochial as well? Or have things already moved too far in that direction? I'm really just interested to learn what problems this approach is trying to solve (is it just exploratory work being falsely reported as confirmatory?)

I'm actually so in disagreement, deep deep disagreement with even the language used to frame this debate, that I can't even engage. I'm not trying to be funny. I'm being serious. Like the rhetorical framing is so off from my perspective, it would take an essay to unpack...
