TL;DR
In Chapter Two of this volume, Shadish describes and defends the research strategy of critical multiplism, the strategy that systematically extends and applies the principles of multiple operationalism to all components of the research enterprise.

Anyone who looks at the matter closely will agree that some fields of science are moving forward very much faster than others, perhaps by an order of magnitude, if numbers could be put on such estimates.

Researchers display confirmation bias when they persevere by revising procedures until obtaining a theory-predicted result, which produces findings that are overgeneralized in avoidable ways, and this in turn hinders successful applications.
