How do you independently replicate research that hasn't been published yet?
And when it's finally published, do you publish both papers and credit both teams? If not what's the incentive for the replicators to consider a non (yet) influential work?
- nonbel 8y agoBoth projects are funded simultaneously as part of the same grant. If it is worth doing once, it is worth replicating. Vice versa: If it isn't worth funding the replication then the project isn't worth doing.
- erichocean 8y agoAlso, add pre-registration and you've basically fixed the replication crisis. And really, what's better? 400 studies that don't replicate, or 200 that do?
- nonbel 8y agoObviously pre-registration is required if both groups will follow the same plan. If not enough is known to do that, then there needs to be a pilot study done to figure it out. Basically what is being published now is a bunch of pilot studies.
- thatoneuser 8y agoHe never said replicate before publish. He said replicate before taking seriously. Of course, it’s not in the hands of the author that they be taken seriously. Essentially what op is saying is the collective community needs to be more scrutinizing, a statement laced with many levels of irony.
