Abstract Details

2023, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Biomedical Sciences.
This dissertation introduces the Tool-Assisted Research Discovery Informatics Surveillance System (TARDISS), a proof of concept of a research surveillance system (RSS). TARDISS aims to reduce the transaction costs of Knowledge Production by using templated analysis and automated data management, which allows for studies built using TARDISS to update when new data are released. TARDISS focuses on research that uses the 2012-2020 Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Standard Analytical File (SAF) Claims datasets and aims to increase the velocity of information sharing by facilitating A/B comparisons between original and updated studies. By automatically updating studies, TARDISS can help identify when the findings of historical scholarship are no longer consistent with the present reality by helping researchers identify trends and discontinuities in large secondary datasets. The research employed a mixed-methods approach with quantitative analysis of literature replications identified by an environmental scan to validate that TARDISS functions as an RSS and qualitative interviews and user story mapping to understand researchers that might benefit from TARDISS and how they perceived the usefulness and useability of TARDISS. This dissertation also explores barriers to adopting research surveillance, including lack of code transparency, the low priority of replication research, and user adoption.
