“With publication count highly valued, analysis may also be delayed as teams ‘salami slice’ the underlying results into multiple papers.” 🤣

Been in research for 12+ years and can say that the inability to reproduce a considerable amount of work published even in high IF journals has real costs - to scientists' careers, the research ecosystem, and taxpayers who are ultimately paying for the vast majority of research.
Research publishing can be compared to a game of bluff, where the biggest winners are not necessarily the most honest. But in research, there's no reward for calling someone's bluff, which can likely drag you through years of hell, stalling your own career.
In order to retain scientists who do good science, we need to reward good science.
As some covid publications have highlighted, data+protocol sharing and study reproducibility are not enforced even at basic levels by even top journals.
