Replication The repetition or repeating of a study or experiment by different (independent) researchers employing the same or very similar procedure or research protocols while using new subjects – if involving human trials – and obtaining the same or equivalent results.
Some aspects may be altered in a partial replication. Evidence gathered in this way is especially valuable when those attempting the replications are competent, fair-minded sceptics of the putative phenomenon or if the claims advanced by proponents are controversial or contentious.
Reproducibility The degree to which the findings of a study can be reproduced by replication.
