The Planet Money podcast #677 (The Experiment Experiment) discussed an effort to reproduce some experiments.

One of the methods they discussed to both increase reproducibility and reduce experimenter bias was to register the experiment procedure and hypothesis with the journal before performing the experiment. It's been a while since I listened but I think one or more journals is supporting this workflow.

I'm glad we are working towards a better scientific process. These days sensationalism scores more grant money and Scientific American articles. We need incentives to improve our body of knowledge not just make headlines.
