Reproducibility

A quality of research outputs in which the authors provide enough information for others to repeat the process of data acquisition and/or analysis. This is distinct from Replicability, which corresponds to the repeatability of the results of the experiment. 

Reproducibility is important for the transparency and rigour of research outputs, and therefore a key component in Open Research.

Researchers across science have reported being unable to replicate key experiments in their respective fields, bringing into question many accepted published results.
