Replication, experiments and knowledge in public management research
本文回顾了公共管理顶级期刊中复制研究的稀缺性，利用Tsang和Kwan的分类法对本特刊中的实验复制进行分类，发现方法多样，并提出了实验复制协议。
Replication is increasingly recognized as an important part of knowledge production in the social sciences, especially for experimental research. However, despite growing use of experiments, replication is little discussed or practiced in public management. We review the approach to replication taken by research in leading public management journals and note its scarcity. We then use a typology developed by Tsang and Kwan to classify the experimental replications undertaken by the articles in this special issue, which reveals a substantial variety of approach. We conclude by suggesting that replication is undertaken for different purposes and present a protocol about replication for experimental public management research.
