I agree that trying to treat the symptoms without a thorough analysis, modeling and testing would likely be a wasted effort. To start, I’d ask questions like “When did the problem first appear? How did research work before p-hacking, publish-or-perish and fight for tenure become a staple of academic life? What worked then, why did it need to change, what changes were introduced, what effects they had..” This is not a simple problem to solve, so obvious simple solutions are unlikely to just work.
