In the field of biomedical research, accurate counting of cells is extremely important for ensuring both inter- and intra-lab reproducibility. Inaccurate cell counts have a negative impact not only on ...

Mattias Björnmalm of Imperial College London cares deeply about scientific reproducibility. When he and collaborators went skydiving to test how metal-organic framework crystals form in ...

British Journal of Industrial Medicine, Vol. 37, No. 1 (Feb., 1980), pp. 63-69 (7 pages) The reproducibility of pulmonary function tests in the laboratory and in a mobile field survey vehicle has been ...

In recent years, there’s been increasing awareness of a problem across many scientific fields—the problem of reproducibility. Can experiments be repeated (or “reproduced”) to arrive at the same result ...

Animal experiments are typically conducted under highly standardized laboratory conditions. While standardization is meant to improve reproducibility of scientific results, in reality reproducibility ...

A recent study provides evidence that some results of behavioral experiments with insects cannot be fully reproduced. So far, possible reproducibility problems have been little discussed in this ...

Even as the scientific community fights against pseudoscience, climate change denial, the anti-vaccine movement and other forms of suspicion and superstition, it has an internal, nagging conundrum: ...

The first results from a major project to measure the reliability of cancer research have highlighted a big problem: Labs trying to repeat published experiments often can't. That's not to say that the ...

Repeatability vs. reproducibility, which should you use? Repeatability and reproducibility are two ways that scientists and engineers measure the precision of their experiments and measuring tools.
