Constraints on generality statements are needed to define direct replication

Daniel J. Simons, Yuichi Shoda, D. Stephen Lindsay

Research output: Contribution to journal › Comment/debate › peer-review

Abstract

Whether or not a replication attempt counts as "direct" often cannot be determined definitively after the fact as a result of flexibility in how procedural differences are interpreted. Specifying constraints on generality in original articles can eliminate ambiguity in advance, thereby leading to a more cumulative science.
