In this talk I will illustrate how scientists' failure to adhere to scientific norms has contributed to the replicability crisis. I will discuss how we can increase our adherence to these norms, from changing individual researchers' practices to reforming peer review and scientific institutions. The goal of these reforms is to increase the transparency of scientific research and level the playing field so that all research is held to the same standards of transparency. This transparency would enable more effective criticism, and therefore more skepticism of unsubstantiated claims. This, in turn, would lead to a more credible scientific literature.
