Excellent stuff. It's an even big problem in this age of politicization.....
....researchers go into their studies "unblinded" in the sense that they already know the politically rewarded outcome to the study. (As an example, we saw this in medicine during COVID. The acceptance of less rigorous and flawed study designs in the medical field was shocking - even more so when those who pointed it out were blatantly ignored, or worse, ostracized and silenced.)

Robustness checks are now almost always included in Econ papers
Not saying that it isn’t a problem in econ, but the replication issue is much more problematic in psych.
