1.2: Replication Value

[Create a] statistic to guide resource allocation for replication efforts.

Other Information:

Present publishing incentives value innovation almost exclusively at the expense of verification. Increasing incentives for verification will make replication more common. However, it is not feasible or desirable to replicate all research. Replication Value (RV) will be a statistic to guide resource allocation for replication efforts. It identifies which findings are having substantial impact, but are not yet estimated precisely. An effective statistic will guide researchers and journals in the selection and evaluation of replication projects.
