Let's replicate
Article Abstract:
Replication of research results is slowly gaining acceptance in the scientific field, as the practice of replication is very diverse, and less clean-cut than commonly realized, and interrogation of earlier published results remains an essential part of science. Scientific publishing is evolving, and the idea of a scientific paper as a self-contained and unalterable body work is becoming obsolete as the publishing bodies are becoming more willing to publish papers which follow up investigations of previously conducted research.
