Hard disagree, set aside 30% of the budget from the get go by law and use that to let others you have no contact with try to replicate your wirk. I'm willing to bet, that if this were to be tried earnestly 99% of research would be compatible.

You are imagining a solution to a very hard social problem. It is trivially simple on paper, but realistically extremely difficult to implement when you think it through.

The fundamental issue: what is in it for the reviewers in this case? Scientists are people, and you can't really legislate interest in replicating other people's work that is unrelated to your own, unless you really spend money on it.

And there's some bad news on that front: https://www.science.org/content/article/final-u-s-spending-b...

I'm there with you, it's a culture and social issue. That said the argument it's not fun seems quite weak to me. Scientists have to do source citation, formatting, peer review and many other things that aren't intrinsically done for selfish hedonistic reasons.
