Eta- and partial eta-squared in L2 research: A cautionary review and guide to more appropriate usage (2018, methodology): “The present study builds on the momentum surrounding methodological reform in applied linguistics, including concerns expressed in recent years over, for example, study quality (Plonsky, 2013, 2014) and statistical literacy (Loewen et al., 2014).”
Replication in Second Language Research: Narrative and Systematic Reviews and Recommendations for the Field. (2018, methodology): “In addition, sharing data is essential for cumulative analyses that join datasets and examine moderator effects of inter-study variation, especially important given the well documented lack of power in L2 research (e.g., Plonsky, 2013; 2015).”
TBLT implementation and evaluation: A meta-analysis (2019, methodology): “Effect sizes are interpreted with respect to Plonsky and Oswald’s (2014) fieldspecific benchmarks: small (d = .”
SECOND LANGUAGE ANXIETY AND ACHIEVEMENT (2019, background): “Most of the studies also failed to report basic information concerning their language achievement measures, including descriptive statistics, a perennial weakness in L2 research (e.g., Larson-Hall & Plonsky, 2015; Paquot & Plonsky, 2017; Plonsky, 2013).”
MULTIPLE REGRESSION AS A FLEXIBLE ALTERNATIVE TO ANOVA IN L2 RESEARCH (2016, methodology): “Each of these variables could have been examined separately in relation to abstract ratings using a series of ANOVAs and other tests.”
Engagement in language learning: A systematic review of 20 years of research methods and definitions (2021, background): “As with Plonsky (2013) who had a κ value (.56; 82% agreement) below conventional thresholds, we highlight the conservative nature of kappa especially as possible categories increase (Brutus et al., 2010).”
Task-Based Learner Production: A Substantive and Methodological Review (2016, background): “Other features are indeed concerned with methodological rigor, validity, and transparency (i.e., study quality; see Plonsky, 2013) such as the use of pretests in quasi-experiments and full reporting of data.”
Elicited imitation as a measure of second language proficiency: A narrative review and meta-analysis (2016, background): “As Plonsky (2013) argues, the reporting of descriptive statistics, including sample sizes, means and standard deviations, “avails primary data to would-be meta-analysts who require such data to calculate an effect size” (p. 671).”
A methodological synthesis and meta-analysis of judgment tasks in second language research (2020, methodology): “In view of the importance of this for the progress and usefulness of science both generally and in the case of efforts in the field of L2 research, we support the notion put forth by Plonsky (2013) that methodological practices and study quality need to be measured, not assumed.”
The seven sins of L2 research: A review of 30 journals’ statistical quality and their CiteScore, SJR, SNIP, JCR Impact Factors (2019, methodology): “Based on similar considerations, Plonsky (2013) has suggested the need for investigating the relationship between statistical practices and journal quality in the L2 field.”
