Is it ok to do research/publish a paper that has the same research question as another paper except for the location of the investigation? For example, if someone has previously published a paper investigating the nature of injuries suffered during skiing in Norway, could I still publish a paper on injuries sustained during skiing in Northwest US? Of course, the methodology, study design, and results will be different, but the objective of the research will be the same as the previous study.
