replicable

Able to copy

Replicable describes something that can be reproduced or repeated with similar results.

The term appears most often in scientific contexts, where replicable experiments are essential—if others can't replicate your findings, they remain suspect: The study's results were not replicable.

Outside research, replicable applies to any process or outcome that can be duplicated: a replicable business model.
