Huber, Potter and Huszar (2018) assert that the reproducibility crisis is underappreciated in cognitive neuroscience, a field, they argue, that favours “storytelling” over reliable research. They contend that unreliable research should be prevented through a variety of preand postpublication initiatives. Here, we comment on the practicality of some of these solutions and barriers to change from an early career researcher (ECR) perspective. We believe that in many disciplines, ECRs are predominantly the workforce and their contributions to the resolution of the reproducibility crisis are hindered by the established academic system. ECRs should be appropriately considered when generating ideas for solutions.
