But has it been reproduced? A study must be reproducible and reproduced, with the same results in the reproductions, to be valid.

- baldfat 11y agoReproducibility means IT can be.This isn't the claim that stem cells could be produced from normal adult cells by dipping them into acid for a 30-minute shock period.(Was a Nature Journal paper that was false in January 2014) With these you have the numbers and the research. You would have to say something was wrong in their approach and redo it. In these instances you look at the data and you make analysis of it. No need to reproduce it.
- jackcosgrove 11y agoThere is definitely a need to reproduce all scientific studies. No study is perfect and can be taken at its authors' word.
- baldfat 11y agoIt is impossible to make all science reproducible. Some studies are to expensive and just not possible. Do we need 2 Hadron Colliders? Since we need to reproduce their effects? Here is some reading on irreproducible research. http://www.nature.com/news/reproducibility-1.17552 http://www.nature.com/news/reproducibility-1.17552
