摘要复制是一种研究方法，旨在验证、巩固和概括经验研究领域内的知识和理解。然而，在第二语言研究中，评论都普遍担心复制的频率很低。对这种情况的一种常见但具有推测性的解释是，复制研究不受重视，因为它们缺乏原创性和/或创新。为了更好地了解和应对复制在我们领域中的罕见情况，354名研究人员接受了关于他们对复制的态度以及他们进行复制研究的做法的调查。回应包括有和没有复制经验的研究人员在全球范围内的参与。总体而言，复制品被评价为与实地相关和有价值。关于复制研究缺乏原创性/创新性的说法没有得到支持。然而，发现了传播问题：一半已发表的复制研究缺乏明确的标签，四分之一的已完成复制未发表。明确标记复制研究以及研究方法和传播方面的培训可以解决这一问题。
Abstract Replication is a research methodology designed to verify, consolidate, and generalize knowledge and understanding within empirical fields of study. In second language studies, however, reviews share widespread concern about the infrequency of replication. A common but speculative explanation for this situation is that replication studies are not valued because they lack originality and/or innovation. To better understand and respond to the infrequency of replication in our field, 354 researchers were surveyed about their attitudes toward replication and their practices conducting replication studies. Responses included worldwide participation from researchers with and without replication experience. Overall, replications were evaluated as relevant and valuable to the field. Claims that replication studies lack originality/innovation were not supported. However, dissemination issues were identified: half of published replication studies lacked explicit labeling and one quarter of completed replications were unpublished. Explicit labeling of replication studies and training in research methodology and dissemination can address this situation.
