When Is a Measurement Reproducible?

Reproducibility or reliability is the degree of stability of the data when the measurement is repeated under similar conditions. If the findings of two researchers carrying out the same test (such as the measurement of blood pressure) are very close, the observations show a high degree of interobserver reproducibility.

What does it mean if a measurement is reproducible?

Reproducibility: The ability of an experiment or calculation to be duplicated by other researchers working independently. Repeatability: The ability of an experiment or calculation to be duplicated by using the same method.

How do you know if a study is reproducible?

The term reproducibility can also be used in the context of the second question: research is reproducible if another researcher actually uses the available data and code and obtains the same results.
