All anyone can do is try to use that research in their own work, and see if their work supports findings from prior work. Sometimes it doesn’t, I am not sure if that means someone lied on purpose. It’s possible they were bad at interpreting the results, or they made bad assumptions. I think poor research standards are the main reason for the reproducibility crises, and not people lying on purpose.

Typically bad research assumptions or implementations are rooted out during peer review, but it’s an imperfect process.

I do think there needs to be a dedicated non-profit and neutral organization solely responsible for reproducing scientific results for all fields, and assigning a reproducibility score to research finding. This could become an entire field by itself, and would have its own complications, but the reproducibility crises does exist and needs a solution.
