Description
Summary:This article addresses common concerns surrounding simulation research and provides strategies for novice researchers to avoid potential errors. Unique situations related to research and simulation in academic settings are discussed. This article focuses on several elements of rigorous quantitative simulation research, including use of a theoretical framework, intervention fidelity, measurement, sample size, and protection of human subjects. •Review literature within and beyond your discipline to identify relevant research questions.•Form collaborations across academic campuses, institutions and disciplines.•Adopt and use consistent terminology related to simulation.•Disseminate positive and negative research outcomes to simulation stakeholders.
