    There are lots of reasons why a study may not pass the replication test, from flat-out errors to a failure to adequately describe the methodology used.

    I just wanted to add that they may not be able to adequately describe the methodology. If you only have six pages to describe a five year or a multi-study project things will have to be left out.
    I do agree with one of their solutions that scientist should share there data and process to be able to replicate it completely.
