The notion of a knowledge production mode encompasses a range of epistemological and methodological characteristics and contextual and practical factors that shape how we conduct research and produce knowledge.
Such modes vary in their alignment with the epistemic criteria of redoing. Even when aligned, the feasibility of redoing will vary; some modes are inherently better suited for redoing than others.
Practices and criteria for good, high-quality, and trustworthy research can differ based on knowledge production mode.
Therefore, to assess whether redoing, as examples of such practices and criteria, are relevant to your research, we ask you to carefully answer the following questions about some important characteristics of your study and its knowledge production mode.
Proprietary and Commercial Interests
Are there any proprietary or commercial interests associated with your research that could create a conflict in allowing others to redo what you did?
Redoing is not relevant if you cannot confirm this question.
Please shortly describe these commercial or proprietary interests in the text box and then go to the final report:
Epistemic Aim
Is the study about discovering facts or establishing some underlying truth(s)?
Is the study about capturing meanings, interpretations, or experiences?
