Pharmaceutical development – drug discovery relies on reproducing experiments across multiple labs to ensure safety and efficacy.

== Improving Reproducibilityreproducibility in Sciencescience ==

To enhance reproducibility, researchers and institutions can adopt several best practices:

Open Datadata and Codecode – Makingmaking datasets and computational methods publicly available ensures that others can verify results.

Registered Reportsreports – Somesome scientific journals now accept studies based on pre-registered research plans, reducing bias.

Standardized Methodsmethods – Usingusing well-documented, standardized experimental protocols helps ensure consistent results.

Independent Replicationreplication Studiesstudies – Fundingfunding agencies and journals should prioritize replication studies to strengthen scientific integrity.

With a narrower scope, ''reproducibility'' has been defined in [[computational science]]s as having the following quality: the results should be documented by making all data and code available in such a way that the computations can be executed again with identical results.
