This piece is of interest to psychology enthusiasts because it examines how identity threats interact with political beliefs, highlighting replication science and the complexity of how social identities influence attitudes.

"Our results imply that selection for productivity can temporarily incentivize replication if replication papers are easier to publish than novel results. Only when effort has sunk enough, low-effort novel research becomes more attractive and production of novel results will once again outcompete replication."

Also, studies of replication themselves benefit from replication, as seen by a case example herein. :-)
