The only thing that really works is a culture where this rarely if ever happens, because of the peer respect and self-respect of academics.
In the old days scientific research was only done by self-funded rich people with tons of money and free time.
Nowadays science is mostly done by people whose income and food depends on getting grants.
When your career and income are at stake, why would you take the risk of opposing Dan Ariely? Only someone who was already rich could do that.
It works in systems where money is at stake too. You need a high trust, conscientous society. Doesn't mean that having one solves the issue entirely. The ocassional bad apple will fraud there too, but it wont be rampant enough to be a systemic problem.

You don't need independently wealthy scientists to expose fraud.
You just need an environment where if regular salary dependent scientists expose fraud, they're not punished for it.
If you don't have that, sure, then you need independently wealthy scientists to dare.
However, given the culture we have, and the human tendencies we have, I think laws can make things better. Like criminalizing various sorts of fraud.
Nobody said that shit. You can pay your builds with the monetary salary from doing your job honestly. That was my first point.
If many people discover that such a salary is not enough to get by, or if many people aren't content with "enough to get by" and decide to perform academic fraud for extras, then that's a society that already lost the plot. That was my second point.
That's a good point. We've banned the account.
