At this point, the entire enterprise of "peer reviewed published research" must all be considered to be suspect. There are significant incentives to commit fraud, from monetary gain to fame, prestige and notoriety (don't underestimate the hubris and narcissism of the senior "researchers" who "publish" hundreds of papers, largely by adding their names to the work of others. Others who are heavily incentivized to create papers that their superiors will want to add their names to). The peer review process is corrupted and is now basically just pal review and gate keeping to ensure that no research that disagrees with the status quo is ever published. The peer review process serves no purpose. It was originally brought in to limit the number of papers that were published in journals as all of the journals were printed in hard copy only and there was a significant cost associated with publication of a paper. That is no longer an issue. Scientific papers are now almost all published online, often on preprint servers. All that is needed to rectify the publication process is to open up the peer review process to the public. All papers must be submitted to a forum where any interested party may review them, critique them and comment on them. If the published methodology is insufficient to reproduce the results, this will be figured out quickly, if the data required to calculate the statistics used in the paper is not included, this can be called out. These are things that peer reviewers are supposed to do, but they don't because the current system is corrupted to the core. "The Science" continues to support the corrupted peer review system because it is this cult that corrupted it in the first place, for its own ends, to turn "peer reviewed science" into their own gospel. Where only the anointed who hold the "correct" view of any matter may publish. All that is published will be held as true, whether it is factually correct or not, and all that is refused publication will be held as false, even if it is factually true.
