Hereby, we envision a solution to break the loop. Consider a platform for storing, peer reviewing and sharing all the scientific work produced within a research institute. We are thinking of a network of science where nodes are single experiments, not entire papers. Each experiment should be meaningful, i.e. must provide a conclusion statement and a short description of the materials and methods (much like it is presented during lab meetings). The envisioned platform provides a key feature: the directional linking of published experiments. This {\textquotedblleft}forking{\textquotedblright} feature is critical because it builds the network semantics by establishing where the rationale of an experiment comes from (and where it eventually leads). Network semantics are important because they generate a better proxy index for reproducibility, and thus quality, than the current impact factor. Such a reproducibility index can be calculated from node properties according to network theories or
ad hoc \textit{ad hoc} metrics like the \href{https://www.authorea.com/users/6973/articles/8213/_show_article}{Fork Factor}. Let{'}s call the envisioned platform a \textbf{Semantic Experiment Network (SEN)}.
