The Problem Research matters. Results from research can affect policy, practice, and future research. Taking every precaution to assure that research is conducted ethically, accurately, and correctly is a practice that should be exhibited by all disciplines. Unfortunately, this has not been the case with upward of 40% of published research identified as being nonreproducible. The Solution The first step for any discipline is to be aware that meta-science problems exists and to identify necessary techniques for preventing these problems from occurring. The current Special Issue introduces meta-science to the field of human resource development (HRD) as a step in informing scholars and scholar-practitioners (a) about the potential problems that exists in other disciplines and (b) what steps could be taken to help prevent these problems from occurring in research within the field of HRD. The Stakeholders HRD scholars and scholar-practitioners, collaborators of HRD, researchers, instructors, and students of HRD programs.

人力资源开发中的元科学导论

问题研究很重要。研究结果可能会影响政策，实践和未来研究。采取一切预防措施以确保研究符合道德，准确和正确地进行是所有学科都应展示的一种做法。不幸的是，事实并非如此，超过40％的已发表研究被确定为不可复制。解决方案任何学科的第一步都是要意识到存在元科学问题，并确定防止这些问题发生的必要技术。本期特刊将元科学引入人力资源开发（HRD）领域，以此为学者和学者（a）了解其他学科中存在的潜在问题以及（b）可以采取哪些步骤提供信息的步骤。帮助防止HRD领域的研究中出现这些问题。利益相关者，HRD学者和学者，HRD的合作者，研究人员，讲师和HRD计划的学生。
