Replication in Second Language Research
Special Issue of Studies in Second Language Acquisition, September 2024
Call for Proposals
Due April 1, 2022

Guest Editor: Kevin McManus (Penn State University, USA)

In 1993, Studies in Second Language Acquisition (SSLA) launched a new section
of the journal titled Replication Studies, recognizing that “the way to more
valid and reliable SLA research is through replication” (Valdman, 1993, p.
505). This innovation is as important today as it was in 1993, especially
given that discussions of methodological rigor and transparency are changing
how SLA research is designed, conducted, and disseminated. To highlight the
role of replication studies in the growth and development of the discipline
and to re-affirm the journal’s long-standing commitment to publishing
replication studies, SSLA will publish a Special Issue consisting entirely of
(close and approximate) replication studies in 2024. 

As a research methodology, replication is used to verify, consolidate, and
advance knowledge and understanding within empirical fields of study. A
replication study works toward this goal by repeating a study’s methodology
with or without changes followed by systematic comparison to better understand
the nature, repeatability, and generalizability of its findings (Porte &
McManus, 2019; Schmidt, 2009). In this way, replication helps assure the
reliability, validity, and accuracy of our work precisely because it aims to
systematically reconsider, refine, extend, and sometimes limit previous
research findings. This is why replication has long been considered an
essential part of the research process (Peterson & Panofsky, 2021; Porte,
2012). As a result, claims that replication studies are infrequent are majorly
troubling (Marsden et al., 2018; Porte & Richards, 2012), indicative of an
uncritical approach to how a field accumulates knowledge and builds theories.
This is one reason why calls for replication are becoming more common across
the social sciences (Plucker & Makel, 2021; Zwaan et al., 2018), and why
resources are needed to support the conduct of replication studies in our
field (Marsden et al., 2018; McManus, 2021; Porte & McManus, 2019). 

This Special Issue responds to this need in the field of SLA. Proposals must
include:
- Study to be replicated and justification
- Type of replication
- What is being modified in the replication and why?
- Design of replication study
- Analysis of data
- Impact

Proposals should not exceed four pages, double spaced, size 12 font (excluding
references). The name and email contact of the primary author should be
provided along with names of contributing authors. Proposal submissions are
due by email to ssla.journal at gmail.com by April 1, 2022. 

Other manuscript and production deadlines are as follows:
April 1, 2022: Proposals due in SSLA office
April 22, 2022: Final decision reached
July 1, 2023 Submission of first-draft manuscripts to SSLA via ScholarOne
(7,000 words, all inclusive)
July 1, 2024: All final manuscripts due, submitted via ScholarOne

Please feel free to distribute this announcement to interested colleagues. If
any other questions arise, please feel free to the Guest Editor at
kmcmanus at psu.edu or SSLA at ssla.journal at gmail.com
