Three ways to make replication mainstream

Behav Brain Sci. 2018 Jan:41:e129. doi: 10.1017/S0140525X1800064X.

Abstract

Zwaan et al. argue convincingly that replication needs to be more mainstream. Here, I suggest three practices for achieving that goal: Incremental Replications, which are built into each experiment in a series of experiments; Reciprocal Replications, which are reciprocal arrangements of co-replications across labs; and Didactic Replications, which are replications used for training.
