This article suggests the routine use of replications in field studies. Since replications are generally independent, it is usually possible to synthesize them quantitatively using meta-analysis, a technique heretofore associated primarily with amalgamating prior work. It is argued that the use of replication as a feature in data collection and quantitative synthesis for data analysis is especially attractive for those investigators whose research paradigm choices are limited because they are working in field environments. Two examples are described briefly.
