This is what makes the problem feel so systemic, in that weak consequences after the fact, and weak incentives for transparency before the fact. If the system mostly rewards output and prestige, then misconduct can remain a high-upside bet. We should be building research infrastructure that makes review trails, contribution, and verification more visible much earlier. That is part of what Liberata is aiming at, if of interest: https://liberata.info/beta-signup
