ABSTRACT

Spurred on by the ‘reproducibility crisis’, social scientists are starting to adopt research transparency practices. Research funders are largely unaware that replication work could strengthen the reliability, rigour, and relevance of their investments. The Gates Foundation commissioned the International Initiative for Impact Evaluation (3ie) to award and quality assure the strongest financial services for the poor evidence. By working with the Gates Foundation to identify the studies, screen the applicants, and quality assure the seven replication research, 3ie ensured policy relevant papers. By publishing this special issue, 3ie is ensuring that the replication research is appreciated by the development community.

摘要

在“可复制性危机”的刺激下，社会科学家开始采用研究透明性做法。研究资助者基本上不知道复制工作会增强其投资的可靠性，严谨性和相关性。盖茨基金会委托国际影响力评估倡议（3ie）授予和质量保证，为不良证据提供最强有力的金融服务。通过与盖茨基金会合作来确定研究，筛选申请人，并确保7项重复研究的质量，3ie确保了与政策相关的论文。通过发行此特刊，3ie确保复制研究受到开发社区的赞赏。
