We need more online journals where you submit your study before you have your results, and your paper gets accepted purely on the basis of whether the study is well-planned etc, so even if your results show nothing, you still publish. And open access, so can be reviewed by anyone. I've seen awful academics tying themselves in knots trying to make the stats fit their favourite theory, it's awful, but thats what you get when you make career success depend on publishing and publishing depend on getting novel/exciting results.
