Question:

Refer to the passage given above. Which of the following reforms would the author most likely support?

1.
Hiring committees giving weight to shared datasets, attempted replications and admitted errors alongside citation counts.
2.
Abolishing peer review entirely in order to speed up publication.
3.
Directing all funding toward research guaranteed to produce positive results.
4.
Imposing penalties on every scientist whose findings fail to replicate.

Correct Answer: Hiring committees giving weight to shared datasets, attempted replications and admitted errors alongside citation counts.

The author explicitly proposes "rewarding datasets shared, replications attempted and errors admitted, rather than citation tallies alone." Options (b), (c) and (d) contradict the passage's reasoning.
