    Abstract

    In their article ‘Self-correction in science: The diagnostic and integrative motives for replication‘, David Peterson and Aaron Panofsky (2021) distinguish two kinds of replication: diagnostic and integrative replication. In this blog post we discuss how well these categories apply to the studies in our sample, and we propose to distinguish a third kind of replication study: the context-exploratory replication.
