Why The Review of Economic Studies is not a scientific journal (read the whole thread):
It's official, the Review of Economic Studies does not accept comment papers (unless they point out actual factual errors), according to my correspondence with an editor. In important ways, it's not really an academic journal. @RevEconStud #EconTwitter #EconReplicationCrisis

How the power structure and the lack of culture for replication papers affect economics:
Most editors care very deeply about replication and the integrity of the scientific process. But, the truth is, science is really difficult. Being a journal editor is tough–you get asked to judge research you can only spend a couple hours thinking about. #Econtwitter
