Reproducibility

Common card · No. 204404

Reproducibility, closely related to replicability and repeatability, is a major principle underpinnings the scientific method. For the findings of a study to be reproducible means that results obtained by an experiment or an observational study or in a statistical analysis of a data set should be achieved again with a high degree of reliability when the study is replicated. There are different kind's of replication but atypically replication studies involve different researchers using the same methodology. Only after one or several such successful replications should a result be recognized as scientific knowledge.
