The aim of this paper is to review the literature on barriers to conducting replication research and strategies to increase its use and promotion by researchers, editors, and funders.
This review was part of a larger meta-narrative review aimed at conducting a concept analysis of replication and developing a replication research framework. A combination of systematic and snowball search strategies was used to identify relevant literature in multiple research fields. Data were coded and analyzed using the Theoretical Domains Framework for barriers to replication and the behavior change wheel for solutions.
In total, 153 papers were included in this narrative review. Multiple barriers limit the use of replication research by researchers, editors, and funders. Many of the barriers were related to knowledge and skills of all these actors. Social influences and the research environmental context were also described as not supportive. Multiple strategies were proposed to create positive outcomes expectations, reinforcement, and structural changes in the physical and social context of research.
A social change involving advisory groups, research organizations, and institutions is required to establish new norms that will value, promote, support, and reward replication research.
本文旨在回顾关于阻碍复制研究开展的文献,并探讨研究人员、编辑和资助者可以采用哪些策略来增加复制研究的应用和推广。
本综述是更大规模元叙事综述的一部分,旨在对复制进行概念分析并开发复制研究框架。我们采用了系统和滚雪球相结合的搜索策略,在多个研究领域中识别相关文献。我们使用复制障碍的理论领域框架和行为改变轮来对数据进行编码和分析。
本叙事综述共纳入 153 篇论文。研究人员、编辑和资助者在使用复制研究时面临多种障碍。其中许多障碍与这些参与者的知识和技能有关。社会影响和研究环境背景也被描述为不支持复制研究。为了在研究的物理和社会环境中产生积极的结果预期、强化和结构性变化,提出了多种策略。
需要进行涉及顾问团体、研究组织和机构的社会变革,以建立新的规范,重视、促进、支持和奖励复制研究。
