Sports Metaresearch: An Emerging Discipline of Sport Science and Medicine [PDF]
Abstract Inadequacies in the conduct and quality of research are well established across many research domains, including sport science and medicine. Metaresearch—the practice of performing research on research—is presented as a practical vehicle for improving research quality through evaluating the research processes. This article introduces

Metaresearch for Evaluating Reproducibility in Ecology and Evolution. [PDF]
Recent replication projects in other disciplines have uncovered disturbingly low levels of reproducibility, suggesting that those research literatures may contain unverifiable claims. The conditions contributing to irreproducibility in other disciplines are also present in ecology.

Metaresearch, Psychology, and Law: A Case Study on Implicit Bias [PDF]
When can scientific findings from experimental psychology be confidently applied to legal issues? When applications have clear limits, do legal commentators readily acknowledge them? To address these questions, we survey recent findings from an emerging field of research on research (i.e., metaresearch).

Study Design Complexity and Participant Completion in Dietary Trials for Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Systematic Review and Metaresearch Study. [PDF]
Dietary intervention trials in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are difficult to implement due to poor adherence, despite their increasing importance for disease management. We conducted a systematic review to evaluate completion rates of dietary intervention trials recruiting patients with IBD and assess completion rate associations with trial design ...
