In some fields, replication is already the prerequisite to benchmark the SoTA. So the incentives boil down to publishing them along with negative results. Or as some have suggested, make it mandatory for PHD candidates to replicate.
Though, it seems that it is possible to game the system, by creating positive/negative replication intentionally, to collude with/harm the author.
