Is reproducibility the same as replication?
| Test | Data and procedure | Question answered | What it does not answer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reproducibility | Same declared materials and procedure | Can the result be reconstructed? | Whether the result is true or general |
| Replication | New observation or data, with an intendedly similar design | Does a result recur under a new observation? | Whether the original workflow was fully reconstructable |
| External validity | Source result and a named target | Does the conclusion transfer? | Whether the source analysis can be rerun |
