“…77 Although previous publications about programs or outreach at national laboratories provide useful information about previous activities, many of these publications include data collected from students without documentation of informed consent or review/guidance from an Institutional Review Board (IRB); make claims about student learning that are not supported by the type of data collected or previous studies; or make sweeping generalizations about undergraduate education and/or student learning that may lead to inaccurate conclusions about program impacts. 78 At the time of this writing we are not aware of any previously published studies that include data from program participants in DOE national laboratory programs aligned with IRB standards for human subjects research. This may be due to the fact that the IRB review has not taken place prior to collecting data from program participants or that this step was not documented as part of a manuscript.…”

Participation in research experiences and internships may improve graduation rates and persistence in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) among undergraduates, yet very little is known about the benefits of these activities for community college students. To fill this gap, we collected survey and interview data from 43 individuals who completed the Community College Internship (CCI) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). These 'CCI alumni' reported gains, including: connections with members of the LBNL community (95%); higher expectations of academic or career success (91%); development of critical skills (88%); and increased self-efficacy and/or confidence (84%), STEM identity (70%), and knowledge about STEM careers (65%). Of this group, 12% are graduate students, 84% have entered the STEM workforce, and 5% have entered the health workforce. We hope this work will encourage other scholars to contribute to what is known about the impact of internships at national laboratories on STEM majors.

Criteria are briefly proposed for final conclusions, research problems, and research hypotheses in quantitative research. Moreover, based on a proposed definition of applied and basic/general research, it is argued that (1) in applied quantitative research, while research problems are necessary, research hypotheses are unjustified, and that (2) in basic/ general quantitative hypothesis-testing research, research hypotheses are sufficient, while research problems are unjustified. These arguments are partly related to the distinction between taking knowledge for granted and regarding knowledge as being on trial. The paper illustrates the central role played by the study's general aim and its relation to existing knowledge in the research domain.

“…For simplicity, such classes are omitted in the diagram. In line with Lund (2005Lund ( , 2013, knowledge space is defined as the set of substantive and methodological knowledge within a research domain provided by earlier research as well as of research standards, e.g., validity systems and ethical criteria. The substantive and methodological knowledge may be in terms of theories, and substantive knowledge can be basic or applied knowledge.…”

The purpose of this paper is to propose a revision of the well-known Campbellian system for causal research. The revised system, termed the COPS model, applies to both applied and basic research. Five validities are included, where two validities are adopted from the Campbellian system, and the validities are partly hierarchically ordered. Important similarities and differences between the Campbellian system and the COPS model are discussed.
