RNICE Model: Evaluating the Contribution of Replication Studies in Public Administration and Management Research
本文提出RNICE概念模型，用于评估复制研究何时以及如何为公共行政与管理领域贡献知识，并通过两个已发表的复制研究展示其应用。
Abstract Replication studies relate to the scientific principle of replicability and serve the significant purpose of providing supporting (or contradicting) evidence regarding the existence of a phenomenon. However, replication has never been an integral part of public administration and management research. Recently, scholars have called for more replication, but academic reflections on when replication adds substantive value to public administration and management research are needed. This article presents the RNICE conceptual model, for assessing when and how a replication study contributes knowledge about a social phenomenon and advances knowledge in the public administration and management literatures. The RNICE model provides a vehicle for researchers who seek to evaluate or demonstrate the value of a replication study systematically. The practical application of the model is illustrated using two published replication studies .
