Reproducibility and Replicability in Science

by Nuclear and Radiation Studies Board, Committee on Reproducibility and Replicability in Science, Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences, et al.

One of the pathways by which the scientific community confirms the validity of a new scientific discovery is by repeating the research that produced it. When a scientific effort fails to independently confirm the computations or results of a previous study, some fear that it may be a symptom of a lack of rigor in science, while others argue that such an observed inconsistency can be an important precursor to new discovery.
