Conceptualization and frequency of sampling (mal)practices in L2 inferential quantitative research: Towards a potential QRP?
Poor sampling practices can constitute a questionable research practice when conducting L2 inferential quantitative research. The current study, a methodological synthesis (N = 433 Scopus/Web of Science (WoS) reports: cluster random sampling) of sampling practices, revealed that L2 inferential quant...

The current study, a methodological synthesis (N = 433 Scopus/Web of Science (WoS) reports: cluster random sampling) of sampling practices, revealed that L2 inferential quantitative researchers rarely employed randomized and/or effect size-driven sampling processes with only eight (1.8%) and ten (2.3%) of the reports being respectively satisfactory. Furthermore, just 33.9% of the reports featured multisite (convenience) samples. In models assessing what predicted multisite sampling, whether the report was ISLA-focused (r = −.33, p <.001) or single-authored (r = −.15, p <.001) incurred moderate and weak negative associations. Citation analysis metric values and the Scopus/WoS contrast had no associations. The findings of this study suggest the field's sampling practices have room to improve and guidance for future improvement is offered. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2025 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
