It's not something you can simply buy with money. It's about getting scientists to cite papers in the replications journal.

What about influencing high-status actors (e.g. prominent universities)? I don't know what the main influence points are for an academic journal, and I don't know what things it's considered acceptable for a university to accept money for, but it seems common to endow a professorship or a (quasi-academic) program.

Probably this method would cost many millions of dollars, but it would be interesting to know the order of magnitude required.
