复制是评估科学结果的可信度和普适性的一种手段,随后的研究将独立地证实初步研究的结果。在地理现象研究中,一种不同形式的可复制性尤为重要--在一个地理背景下获得的结果是否适用于另一个地理背景。然而,地理规律表明,使用复制来评估跨空间发现的可信度并确定新的规律可能是具有挑战性的。许多地理现象在空间上是不同的,这意味着它们在地球表面表现出不受控制的变化,并且缺乏特征平均值。当一种现象在空间上异质性时,可能很难或不可能为研究与研究之间的比较建立基线或规则。同时,地理观察通常在空间上是独立的,这使得很难分离出感兴趣的影响以进行交叉研究比较。在这篇文章中,我们讨论了描述现象空间变化的规律如何影响复制在地理研究中的使用。根据地理基本规律制定一套共同的复制评估原则,是调整复制标准以满足学科分领域的需要,同时为汇聚的空间研究保持共同的分析基础的先决条件。
Replication is a means of assessing the credibility and generalizability of scientific results, whereby subsequent studies independently corroborate the findings of initial research. In the study of geographic phenomena, a distinct form of replicability is particularly important – whether a result obtained in one geographic context applies in another geographic context. However, the laws of geography suggest that it may be challenging to use replication to assess the credibility of findings across space and to identify new laws. Many geographic phenomena are spatially heterogeneous, which implies they exhibit uncontrolled variance across the surface of the earth and lack a characteristic mean. When a phenomenon is spatially heterogeneous, it may be difficult or impossible to establish baselines or rules for study-to-study comparisons. At the same time, geographic observations are typically spatially dependent, which makes it difficult to isolate the effects of interest for cross-study comparison. In this paper, we discuss how laws describing the spatial variation of phenomena may influence the use of replication in geographic research. Developing a set of shared principles for replication assessment based on fundamental laws of geography is a prerequisite for adapting replication standards to meet the needs of disciplinary subfields while maintaining a shared analytical foundation for convergent spatial research.
