 Giner-Sorolla (2012), however, does discuss novelty in the context of the crisis, and he offers another perspective on its value. He claims that one reason novelty has been used to define what is publishable or fundable is that it is relatively easy for researchers to establish and for reviewers and editors to detect. Yet, Giner-Sorolla argues, novelty for its own sake perhaps should not be valued, and should in fact be recognized as merely an operationalisation of a deeper concept, such as “ability to advance the field” (567). Giner-Sorolla goes on to point out how such shallow operationalisations of important concepts often lead to problems, for example, using statistical significance to measure the importance of results, or measuring the quality of research by how well outcomes fit with experimenters’ prior expectations.
