This paper from 1975 ominously foreshadows the replication crisis and detailing how to prevent it: faculty.washington.edu/agg/pdf

Interesting and somewhat depressing. The current generation of scientists is doing better by looking at incentives, but it's an uphill battle.

@pganssle One thing that concerns me is that there is no incentive for news outlets or researchers/universities to be careful in their reporting of science.

If it were up to me, nothing would be reported in the popular press without pre-registration and replication.
