I agree, but also approach much of what is published with skepticism because there are many factors that can lead to results not being reproducible.

Not that there aren't issues with this idea, but I would like to see peer review change to include another independent lab having to reproduce your experiments as a means to verify the results. The methods you hand over to that lab are the ones that will be published, so if they can't reproduce your results, it stays in review.
