## TL;DR

This paper proposes a new approach called 'peer replication' to improve scientific reliability by emphasizing reproducibility alongside traditional peer review.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the introduction of 'peer replication' as a framework to elevate reproducible research in scientific publishing.

## Key findings

- Peer replication could serve as an alternative or supplement to traditional peer review.
- This framework aims to address the replication crisis by prioritizing reproducibility in scientific manuscripts.

## Abstract

To address the replication crisis and instill confidence in the scientific literature, we introduce a new framework for evaluating scientific manuscripts. “Peer replication” would be an alternative or augmentation to peer review and elevate peer-replicable works to a higher tier of publication.
