reproducible
Can be duplicated
Reproducible describes something that can be produced again with the same results.
The term appears most often in scientific contexts, where reproducible experiments yield consistent outcomes when repeated: The findings weren't reproducible in subsequent trials.
A reproducible error occurs predictably under the same conditions.
The word implies reliability—if results can't be reproduced, their validity is questionable.
