Reproducibility
 
Definition: A property of an experiment or process where one receives consistent results by following a specific procedure.
Reproducibility is a critical factor in scientific progress. In order for a scientific result to be useful for other scientists, it must be reproducible. Therefore, scientists must repeat experiments several times in order to establist reproducibility. Reproducibility becomes even more important if a scientific result is to become a technology.
