I suppose it is naive to believe that scientific papers should not be published until they are peer reviewed and more importantly, their results duplicated.
If this is impractical there should be separate sections in journals for non-replicated and replicated results or perhaps there needs to be separate tiers, with something like the "Gold Tier" only containing papers that have had their results replicated multiple times in multiple countries.
Probably wishful thinking, but it seems clear, something needs to change.
