Abstract

This paper explores Chalmers and Glasziou's (2009) notion of ‘research waste’ from healthcare research to examine what it can offer the field of applied linguistics. Drawing on examples from both disciplines, we unpack Macleod et al.'s (2014) five research waste categories: (1) asking the wrong research questions, (2) failing to situate new research in the context of existing research, (3) inefficient research regulation/management, (4) failing to disseminate findings, and (5) poor research reporting practices. We advance this typology to help applied linguists identify and reduce avoidable research waste and improve the relevance, quality, and impact of their research.

减少应用语言学研究中 "可避免的研究浪费"：医疗保健研究的启示

本文探讨了 Chalmers 和 Glasziou（2009 年）在医疗保健研究中提出的 "研究浪费 "概念，以研究其对应用语言学领域的启示。借鉴这两个学科的实例，我们解读了 Macleod 等人（2014 年）提出的五个研究浪费类别：(1) 提出错误的研究问题；(2) 未能将新研究置于现有研究的背景之下；(3) 研究监管/管理效率低下；(4) 未能传播研究结果；(5) 研究报告实践欠佳。我们推进这一类型学，以帮助应用语言学家识别和减少可避免的研究浪费，提高研究的相关性、质量和影响力。
