That effectiveness of this solution depends, in particular on what other incentives are there.
Imagine a poor crime-ridden neighbourhood where police put up "Rat on your neighbours -- we pay for tips!" posters. That's "incentives to catch misconduct", but even if you collect the tip you still have to live in the neighbourhood and I expect that being a known snitch carries a heavy price.
I don't see how this point carries over to the problem at hand.... what's the heavy price for the scientist snitch?
For example, you won't be invited as a co-author for papers. People will exclude your from research groups. Reviewers will be nasty to your submissions.
