D. Scientific societies are encouraging systematic replications of important scientific findings.

Explanation:

Replication is a term used in psychological research that describes the repetition of a research study, for the purpose of validating previous research study, or to prevent the problem of generalization arising from a single study.

Hence, Scientific societies are encouraging systematic replications of important scientific findings so as to reach conclusion that holds true for other settings or population.
