Can we all agree to not cite any study that a) doesn't exist, b) cannot be reproduced, or c) includes fake data?
For bonus points, the participants of the b) and c) options should be forced to pay back whoever funded their research.

If I do a simple study where I flip a coin a million times and write down the result, you are unlikely to be able to reproduce the same result.
However, it's useful to require pre-registration and sharing of data etc for studies you plan to fund.
Ideally, you give researchers an in-principle approval, but then hold the funds in escrow and only disburse them after they published their data etc.
(Financial markets can provide the bridge financing between in-principle approval and actual disbursal.)
There's many journals that have open data requirements, but more often than not they are flouted. The above suggestion would give them real teeth.
