Reproductions and Replications

Reproductions

• Meta-assertions that verify the reproducibility of evidence or claims

• Contain references to:

  • The reproduced assertion

  • The reproducer (who performed the reproduction)

  • Include status and rationale for the reproduction

  • Help establish the reliability of assertions

Replications

• Meta-assertions that verify the replicability of evidence or claims

• Similar to reproductions but focus on independent verification

• Contain references to:

  • The replicated assertion

  • The replicator (who performed the replication)

  • Help establish the generalizability of assertions
