reprodukálhatóvá

reprodukálhatóvá is a Hungarian word meaning "to become reproducible" or "to be made reproducible." The term is typically used in scientific, technical, and software contexts. It is derived from the root verb "reprodukál" (to reproduce, replicate) and the adjective suffix "-ható" (capable), with the suffix "-vá" turning the adjective into a causative infinitive, thus forming a compound action: “to make something capable of reproduction.”

In laboratory science, the word appears in discussions on experimental design, where researchers emphasize that results should be reproducible by others. A protocol that has been turned "reprodukálhatóvá" guarantees that detailed steps, materials, and data handling procedures are specified so that an independent team can replicate the findings. The concept is closely linked to open science, where documented methods, source code, and raw data are shared. The legal form "reprodukálhatóvá" often appears in grant proposals, research reports, and policy documents.

In software engineering, "reprodukálhatóvá" applies to debugging and testing. A bug report is considered valuable if the defect can be reproduced, i.e., if the environment and inputs that trigger the failure can be made reproducible. Testing teams strive to convert software bugs into reproducible scenarios to enable efficient tracking, assignment, and patching. This practice is part of quality assurance and continuous integration pipelines.

Academic literature frequently cites frameworks that aim to "reprodukálhatóvá" research. One example is the Reproducible Research Guidelines, which recommend transparent data management, version control, and documentation. The Hungarian translation of these guidelines often uses "reprodukálhatóvá" to convey the transformation of research outputs into reproducible artifacts.

Overall, the term encapsulates a process of making a result, experiment, or piece of software capable of being accurately replicated by others, thus supporting the integrity and reliability of scientific and technical work.
