replicating
Producing exact copies
Replicating is making a copy or duplicate of something.
Scientists replicate experiments to verify results.
Cells replicate by dividing.
A study that can't be replicated raises questions about its validity.
The word implies producing something closely matching the original: The forger spent years replicating the master's brushwork.
