Why Do So Many Studies Fail to Replicate?

Because it is hard to recreate the exact conditions of the original research.

"The original researchers and the replicators both have a stake in cooperation. Even if a replication attempt fails, the field will find the failure far more informative because both parties agreed on the process in the first place. Then they can set their sights on understanding why the replication results differed from the original study. The lesson here is not that context is too hard to study, but rather that context is too important to ignore."
