NIH policy had 5% compliance when it was voluntary, 50-70% compliance when it was mandatory, and got to 90% when funds were held back until compliance was fulfilled. #OASPA2025

I disagree. Peer review offers some degree of quality assurance, but still many articles in reputable journals have major flaws.
Good science can be found in reputable journals, but also on preprint servers. Conversely, bad science can be found on preprint servers, but also in reputable journals.
