What testing do science based facts get through to be validated?

I can certainly say that with confidence for my own field. Social psychology has had some troubles with some studies regarded as classics being problematic, but I'm not the person to defend social psychology here, I'll gladly defend physics and related areas which are extremely rigorous.

But being vetted is not the same as being replicated, correct? Most journals do require a reviewing process before publication. But my understanding of that process is that regardless of how rigorous (and sometimes flawed) that process is, the reviewers are doing everything except replicating the experiment, right?
