eredményreprodukibilitás

Eredményreprodukció, or reproducibility of results, refers to the extent to which scientific findings can be confirmed by independent researchers using the same data and methods, or by reanalyzing the original data to obtain the same reported results. It is a core aspect of scientific reliability across disciplines, including psychology, medicine, biology, and social sciences.

In practice, reproducibility and related concepts are sometimes distinguished but used variably across fields. Reproducibility often means obtaining the same results with the original data and analysis code, while replication (or replicability) can involve collecting new data and independent analysis to test the same hypothesis. The term eriő eredményreprodukció may thus cover both precise reanalysis and independent verification of findings.

Challenges to achieving high levels of eredményreprodukció include insufficient statistical power, selective reporting, p-hacking, incomplete methodological detail, and limited data or code sharing. These factors can lead to inconsistent results across studies and contribute to the so-called replication crisis in certain fields. Consequences include reduced trust in findings, wasted resources, and slower scientific progress.

Efforts to improve reproducibility encompass practices such as preregistration of study design and analysis plans, sharing of data and analysis code, detailed methodological reporting, and the use of registered reports. Journals, funders, and institutions increasingly promote open science standards and independent replication studies to enhance the credibility and reliability of research outcomes.
