replicability
Can duplicate results
Replicability is the capacity for something to be replicated—reproduced or repeated with similar results.
The term appears most often in scientific contexts, where replicability is a cornerstone of valid research: if an experiment can't be replicated by other researchers, its findings are suspect.
The study's replicability has been questioned.
We need to establish replicability before drawing conclusions.
