[From the article “The Solution to Science’s Replication Crisis” by BRUCE KNUTSEN, posted at arxiv.org] “The solution to science’s replication crisis is a new ecosystem in which scientists sell what they learn from their research.

Each transaction is brokered by a central exchange, which holds money from the anonymous information buyer and anonymous information seller in escrow, and which enforces a set of incentives facilitating the transfer of useful, bluntly honest information from the seller to the buyer.
