Reproducibility Is A Must

Reproducibility and reliability are two important values for scientists that influence either credibility and the opportunity to obtain good results. A definition of reproducibility can be the ability to repeat a protocol (whatever kind of protocol) and gain the same conclusion. Reproducibility could evaluated into a laboratory when several operators perform at the same time or in different time an experiment. If the protocol is reproducible, all experiments will give the same result, otherwise the protocol is not reproducible.
No tricks or wizardries can be accepted in science. So, it must be possible to repeat what has been already done. What about reproducibility is true for one lab. is also true for the whole scientific community. When an experiment or a protocol is published, all details must be explained to repeat the same results. Indeed, a protocol could give good results if applied to other models as well as the same results could be verified in other system. Reproducibility allows science advances and without it science looses its mean and its value. Reliability is strictly connected to reproducibility but usually involves the single lab. To obtain reproducible results it’s very important to note everything concerns the experiment (material, protocol, dilution and so on) and keep in order reagents and original files. Only in this way science still be credible.
