Stanley, T. D.; Doucouliagos, Hristos; Ioannidis, John P. A. – Research Synthesis Methods, 2022
Recent, high-profile, large-scale, preregistered failures to replicate uncover that many highly-regarded experiments are "false positives"; that is, statistically significant results of underlying null effects. Large surveys of research reveal that statistical power is often low and inadequate. When the research record includes selective…

Yasemin J. Erden – Journal of Academic Ethics, 2025
This paper introduces the concept of 'hyper-ambition' in academia as a contributing factor to what has been termed a 'replication crisis' across some sciences. The replication crisis is an umbrella term that covers a range of 'questionable research practices', from sloppy reporting to fraud. There are already many proposals to address questionable…

Trans* and genderqueer student retention and liberation is integral for equity in undergraduate education. While STEM leadership calls for data-supported systemic change, the erasure and othering of trans* and genderqueer identities in STEM research perpetuates cisnormative narratives. We sought to characterize how sex and gender data are…

Yuan Fang; Lijuan Wang – Grantee Submission, 2024
Dynamic structural equation modeling (DSEM) is a useful technique for analyzing intensive longitudinal data. A challenge of applying DSEM is the missing data problem. The impact of missing data on DSEM, especially on widely applied DSEM such as the two-level vector autoregressive (VAR) cross-lagged models, however, is understudied. To fill the…

Bryan J. Duarte – Educational Studies: Journal of the American Educational Studies Association, 2024
Critical quantitative methods provide opportunities for Queer Theory to challenge, re-define, and re-claim the historically privileged research tradition. In this paper, I begin by summarizing the various binaries that oppress research and individuality. I then engage with Queer Theory and my own intersectional positionality to propose a nonbinary…

Hairui Yu; Suzanne E. Perumean-Chaney; Kathryn A. Kaiser – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2024
Missing data can significantly influence results of epidemiological studies. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) is a popular epidemiological dataset. We examined recent practices related to the prevalence and the reporting of the amount of missing data, the underlying mechanisms, and the methods used for handling missing…

Garret J. Hall; Sophia Putzeys; Thomas R. Kratochwill; Joel R. Levin – Educational Psychology Review, 2024
Single-case experimental designs (SCEDs) have a long history in clinical and educational disciplines. One underdeveloped area in advancing SCED design and analysis is understanding the process of how internal validity threats and operational concerns are avoided or mitigated. Two strategies to ameliorate such issues in SCED involve replication and…

Tom O'Donoghue; Tom Farrelly – Irish Educational Studies, 2024
This paper is a critical exposition on three major issues related to 'interpretive research conducted by researchers who claim they engaged in mixed methods' research. First, to provide context, we demonstrate that the term 'mixed' is inappropriate for the research practices usually adopted by its exponents. Secondly, we argue, expositions in…

Teague R. Henry; Zachary F. Fisher; Kenneth A. Bollen – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2024
Model-Implied Instrumental Variable Two-Stage Least Squares (MIIV-2SLS) is a limited information, equation-by-equation, noniterative estimator for latent variable models. Associated with this estimator are equation-specific tests of model misspecification. One issue with equation-specific tests is that they lack specificity, in that they indicate…

Umut Atasever; John Jerrim; Sabine Tieck – Educational Assessment, Evaluation and Accountability, 2024
Cross-national comparisons of educational achievement rely upon each participating country collecting nationally representative data. While obtaining high response rates is a key part of reaching this goal, other potentially important factors may also be at play. This paper focuses on one such issue--exclusion rates--which has received relatively…

Olivier Fuchs; Craig Robinson – Qualitative Research Journal, 2024
Purpose: Critical realism is an increasingly popular "lens" through which complex events, entities and phenomena can be studied. Yet detailed operationalisations of critical realism are at present relatively scarce. This study's objective here is built on existing debates by developing an open systems model of reality, a basis for…

This paper describes a scoping review of China's academic resource databases, relevant official websites, news reports and public accounts spanning a period from the end of 2019 to the end of 2022, to investigate the challenges in scientific integrity and ethical soundness of research conducted during and immediately after the COVID-19 pandemic in…

Sabine Doebel; Michael C. Frank – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2024
Diverse samples are valuable to the study of development, and to psychology more broadly. But convenience samples--typically recruited from local populations close to universities--are still the most widely used in developmental science, despite the fact that their use leads to a vast over-representation of Western, White, and high socio-economic…

Piotr Jabkowski; Aneta Piekut – Field Methods, 2024
This study analyzes the consequences of item nonresponse to the question about a household's total net income in the European Social Survey (2008-2018). We recognize two mechanisms in avoiding answering the income question: task complexity and question sensitivity, and apply multilevel logistic regressions to predict the probability of refusals or…

Chloe O'Connor; Camilla Addey – International Journal of Research & Method in Education, 2024
While methodologies are often presented as standardised procedures which, under specified conditions, should lead to the same conclusions, this case study presents the complex and deeply personal process of research (Addey and Piattoeva 2022). We analyse our application of network ethnography -- an approach presented by Ball (2016) -- to the study…
