> Do you want issues of Nature and cell to be replication studies?

Of course I do! Not all of course, and taking (subjectively measured) impact into account. "We tried to replicate the study published in the same journal 3 years ago using a larger sample size and failed to achieve similar results..." OR "after successfully replicating the study we can confirm the therapeutic mechanism proposed by X actually works" - these are extremely important results that are takin into account in meta studies and e.g. form the base of policies worldwide.

Honestly even if they didn't publish the whole paper, if there was just a page that was a table of all the replication studies that were done recently, that would be pretty cool.
