Reviewer Bias Against Replication Research
Abstract
Social science journal reviewers (N=8) responded to questionnaires regarding their reviewing history, and attitudes towards and perception of replication studies. Results indicate that reviewers are biased against replication studies and toward studies demonstrating some new effects. Several reviewers indicated that replications are a waste of time and journal space.
