Some research journals have banned the phrase "more research is needed" on the grounds that it is redundant; [1] it is almost always true and fits almost any article, and so can be taken as understood.. A 2004 metareview by the Cochrane collaboration of their own systematic medical reviews found that 93% of the reviews studied made indiscriminate FRIN-like statements, reducing their ability to ...

3. More research is needed to fully understand. By expressing the necessity for more research to gain a complete understanding, this phrase indicates that the current knowledge is incomplete or insufficient. Example: “We have some preliminary insights, but more research is needed to fully understand the underlying factors.” Regional Variations

“More research is needed” is an iconic catchphrase used by scientists worldwide. Yet policy and management decisions are continually being made with variable levels of reliance on scientific knowledge. Funding agencies have provided incentives for knowledge exchange at the interfaces between science and policy or practice, yet it remains ...

A phrase like ‘more research is needed’ can potentially convey a message of uncertainty (even though uncertainty is an unavoidable part of science). As stated in the Journal of Experimental Psychology, the effect of uncertainty is amplified (to the audience) according to individual judgements about a particular science’s value.

The most over-used and under-analyzed statement in the academic vocabulary is surely “more research is needed”. These four words, occasionally justified when they appear as the last sentence in a Masters dissertation, are as often to be found as the coda for a mega-trial that consumed the lion’s share of a national research budget, or ...

The editor of BMJ argues that more research is needed, but not just any type of research. She highlights the importance of translational research, comparative effectiveness research, and addressing specific clinical questions that benefit patients and decision makers.

This sentence often concludes medical research articles. We argue that 'more research is needed' is an empty phrase. There is always room for synthesis of previously existing and currently added knowledge, allowing for a conclusion on what we now know. Surely, current knowledge is rarely definitive. …

To inform the research the recommendations from reviews must be differentiated depending from the findings of the review. Objectives: To find, how frequent are recommendations like more research is needed , and how they relates to results of review. Methods: Random sample of 100 reviews is evaluated by author.

No one research project can claim to provide the absolute and permanent truth on a given topic. It would be somewhat arrogant to end a paper with the opposite assertion: I’ve solved this problem. No-one need research it ever again. Maybe “more research is needed” is a way of expressing humility: My/our research isn’t the be-all and end ...

Abstract. Background Results from epidemiology and other health research affect millions of life-years and billions of dollars, and the research directly consumes millions of dollars. Yet we do little to assess the value of research projects for future policy, even amid the ubiquitous assertions that ‘more research is necessary’ on a given topic.

Requesting research can also have symbolic effects, by signalizing vigour and that one takes knowledge seriously. The need for ‘further research’ is perhaps more often driven by the potential problem-solving or instrumental contributions of research to policymaking. Research is expected to contribute to more informed and rational decisions.

The term "Further research is needed" refers to the conclusion drawn from a study that suggests the need for additional investigation to expand knowledge, provide evidence, or prove the effectiveness of a treatment or prevention method. ... It indicates that the current study has limitations and that more research is necessary to fully ...

'More research is needed', says Phillips, "is really an economic statement". It's a claim that the benefit of the new information to policy-makers would outweigh the cost of the study.

“More research is needed” has become a common scientific cliché. It is difficult to think of any situation for which more research is not needed. All scientific findings require replication, either in a controlled environment or in other settings and sub-populations. Ideally, studies should also be repeated by independent research teams or ...

“More research is needed” is an iconic catchphrase used by scientists worldwide. Yet policy and management decisions are continually being made with variable levels of reliance on scientific knowledge. Funding agencies have provided incentives for knowledge exchange at the interfaces between science and policy or practice, yet it remains the exception rather than the rule within academic ...

We don’t need more science to show the effectiveness of contingency management. We need more treatment centers to implement it. For this to happen, there needs to be greater clarity from regulators that it is a legitimate medical treatment, not an inducement with potential legal penalties.

Such decisions could benefit from a more systematic approach than researchers ordinarily use. Furthermore, when considering the possibility of replication studies, epidemiologists need a new strategy-one that explores more explicitly the improvements and the additional study features that would be required to produce a more meaningful answer.

Some research journals have banned the phrase "more research is needed" on the grounds that it is redundant; [1] it is almost always true and fits almost any article, and so can be taken as understood..

Background Amid the calls for ‘more public health evidence’, we also need simple understandable methods of determining when more research really is needed. This paper describes a simple decision aid to help policymakers, researchers and other decision makers assess the potential ‘information value’ of a new public health randomised controlled trial. Methods The authors developed a flow ...

Over the course of 18 months, we are working on an ambitious new project to Redefine Publishing. Working with stakeholders from across scholarly communications, we aim to go beyond the traditional research article to address two systemic barriers to open science: a lack of recognition for all research outputs, and the economic costs that prevent broader participation.
