Dude, even in present-day conditions the worst offenders of the replication science are in slop fields like “social psychology”, or in fields where the books are cooked by people wanting to appeal...
Couple things. I am in fact being hyperbolic in the OP In order to generate a conversation. Next you’re right that it’s been largely slop fields, but unfortunately the replication problem is growing and entering fields like medicine for instance. Lastly id say we can’t blame globalization because many of the most visible failures involve elite western institutions, top journals, and senior researchers. The incentives are baked into the prestige economy of science itself, not imported from the margins.
