Abstract

Replicating surveys in applied social sciences is widely encouraged in theory due to its contributions to science. This paper aims to discuss the significance of this, the validity of conducting previous research using replicated surveys and its incidence in Brazil. Furthermore, certain typologies described in the literature are explained, and meta-analysis and how it relates to replication is touched on. The paper also discusses the difficulties and reflects on why this kind of academic study is promoted and published. The paper examines Brazilian scientific publications in the Business Administration area for incidences of replication, finding that relatively few replications studies have been published. Finally, we propose means to encourage their use, especially directed to editors, researchers and Business Administration students.
