I%u2019ve no scientific research either, but when I observed users filling in a form with two email fields, I saw several times that people filled out the first field correctly, got annoyed with the fact that they had to retype their address and made a typo in the second field as a result of that.
Asking a user to retype the email address tells implicitly that you find your users not smart enough to fill out your form. In my designs I always choose for just one email field. When a correct email address is really important for the following procedure, I add a line of text below the field asking: %u2018Please verify if your email address is entered correctly%u2019. I use JavaScript to check if the entered email address has a valid format. Additionally you could verify the email address in a smtp session, but you will never get a 100% validation. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
