How could the R-factor help to solve the crisis of credibility?

Assigning the R-factor to scientific reports will solve two interrelated and unresolved problems that underlie the crisis: that the careers of researchers are disconnected from the veracity of what they report, and that finding the veracity of a claim or a researcher is currently difficult. By solving these problems the R-factor has the potential to link the careers of researchers to the veracity of their reports, thus introducing a missing self-correction feedback in the system (Fig. \ref{294322}).
