Note that this in itself is a well-replicated finding. At least a dozen studies show that when researchers replicate qualitative research, or re-analyze it, they come to basically identical themes. There is nothing special about qualitative research with respect to replicability.
This is a great qualitative research paper. It sheds light on questionable research practices. But more importantly it demonstrates direct replications in qualitative research work as you would expect: independent teams reach basically the same conclusions royalsocietypublishing.org/rsos/article...
