Repeatability vs. reproducibility, which should you use? Repeatability and reproducibility are two ways that scientists and engineers measure the precision of their experiments and measuring tools.

From preprints to peer-reviewed papers, reproducibility and transparency are the backbone of scientific trust. Yet, challenges like misunderstood preprints, irreproducible results, and AI-driven ...

Training in methods to enhance rigor, transparency and reproducibility in research is an integral part of training grant-funded programs at Northwestern. The resources on this page provide additional ...

Reproducibility refers to the consistency of measurements. It is the extent to which a tool can produce the same result when used repeatedly under the same circumstances. Reproducibility is used ...

Independent verification of data is a cornerstone of scientific research. The scientific method relies on reproducibility to validate findings and build upon existing work. Ideally, researchers should ...

When scientists cannot confirm the results from a published study, to some it is an indication of a problem, and to others, it is a natural part of the scientific process that can lead to new ...

A behind-the-scenes blog about research methods at Pew Research Center. For our latest findings, visit pewresearch.org. Computational social scientists rely on code as the main instrument for doing ...

A recent study provides evidence that some results of behavioral experiments with insects cannot be fully reproduced. So far, possible reproducibility problems have been little discussed in this ...
