Replicable
Replicable (pronounced: /rɪˈplɪkəbəl/) is an adjective that describes the ability of an experiment or study to be duplicated, either by the same researcher or by someone else working independently. It is a fundamental principle in the scientific method that an experiment must be replicable.
Etymology
The term "replicable" is derived from the Latin word "replicare," which means "to fold back." In the context of scientific research, it refers to the ability to "fold back" to the original experiment and reproduce the same results.
