reproduzierbare

Reproduzierbare is a German adjective meaning capable of being reproduced or reproducible. It is used to describe experiments, results, methods, datasets, or analyses that can be repeated by others under the same conditions to obtain the same outcomes. The related noun is Reproduzierbarkeit, or reproducibility in English. Common phrases include reproduzierbare Ergebnisse (reproducible results), reproduzierbares Verfahren (reproducible procedure), and reproduzierbare Datenanalyse (reproducible data analysis).

In German scientific writing, the term sits within a broader discussion of reproducibility and research integrity. Reproduzierbarkeit is often distinguished from Wiederholbarkeit (repeatability) and Replikation (replication). Wiederholbarkeit typically concerns repeating an experiment under the same conditions with the same equipment, while Replikation refers to independent verification using new data or conditions. Reproduzierbarkeit emphasizes the ability to obtain the same results when the study’s data, code, and methods are reused, potentially by different researchers.

Significance and practices: achieving reproduzierbare results usually requires thorough documentation, well‑described protocols, access to data and code, and transparent analysis workflows. The term is widely used in fields ranging from experimental science to computational research and data science, often aligned with open science initiatives that promote data sharing, version control, and methodological transparency.

In usage, reproduzierbare functions as a descriptive attribute, commonly appearing as reproduzierbare Ergebnisse or reproduzierbares Verfahren in German texts, with lowercase inflections when used attributively and capitalized forms when converted into a noun.
