Scientific Method based on reproducibilityImportance of reproducibility
• A scientific fact can only be established if a reproducibleprocedure to verify it can be defined
• Research topic: challenges for defining reproduciblemethods and documentation differ for different areas
• The reproducibility problem exists in all areas
• Established vs. new topics: the more established aresearch area, the better defined and standardized itsprocedures
