This methodological brief introduces readers to replication methods and their uses. Broadly defined, replication is the
duplication of previously conducted research to verify or expand the original findings. Replication is particularly useful in
the gifted education context because so much education theory and research are based on general education students
and environments; the extent to which this prior work extends to gifted education contexts needs to be evaluated. The
rationale, definition, implementation methods, and current state of replication in the social sciences generally, as well as in
giftedness and creativity research specifically, are reviewed. Finally, guidance for conducting replications is provided, including
recommendations on selecting important topics, engaging original authors, ensuring sufficient power, using appropriate
