Pay scientists a small bonus, added to their grant, when they post their results and data openly within six months of finishing an experiment, whether the result was positive or not.
Funders add a supplement (for example 5% of the award) paid on verified release of preprints, datasets and code within six months of the end of each funded aim, with an equal bonus for registered negative results. Unlike mandates, which are widely ignored without enforcement, bonuses are self-enforcing and visible. Academic secrecy before publication delays diffusion by one to two years and hides most negative preclinical findings entirely; a small financial reward changes the calculus for labs that currently see only risk in early release.
