irreproducibility
Cannot repeat results
Irreproducibility is the quality of being impossible to reproduce or replicate.
The term appears most often in scientific contexts, where irreproducibility of experimental results undermines their validity: The irreproducibility of the study's findings raised concerns about the original methodology.
A result that cannot be reproduced by other researchers is suspect.
