Slide entitled: Four Pillars of Research with a picture of ruin with four columns. The text reads: Reproducible: Same investigation, repeatable inference - Result exists Reliable: New investigation, expected result - Result generalizes or transports Reasoned: Any investigation, justified inference - Result might be knowledge Respectable: Ethical & Open Do no harm & preserve rights of others to reach their own conclusions & humane working conditions The caption reads: You can picture them there on the right

Previous work has suggested journal rank as a major associate of irreproducibility (Brembs et al., 2013), and that high-impact journals favour authors from leading institutions (Kulal et al., 2025). Our study highlights how university ranking is among the most striking correlates of irreproducibility. Taken together, the cause and effect relationship at play here may be driven most by factors associated with institutional prestige, such as trust among networks of colleagues that act as editors and reviewers, leading to greater acceptance rates at high-impact journals. Importantly, our results suggest this greater acceptance does not strictly reflect a high quality of the work being published, but rather a willingness to trust irreproducible work more frequently if it comes from a prestigious institute.
