reproducibility
Results hold up
Reproducibility is the ability of a study, experiment, or result to be duplicated by others following the same methods.
In science, reproducibility serves as a cornerstone of validity—if other researchers can't reproduce your findings, those findings become suspect.
The term appears frequently in discussions of research integrity: The reproducibility crisis has shaken confidence in published psychology studies.
Something that meets this standard is reproducible.
