Summary

This week you learned about an important aspect of integrity: replicability. Replicability relates to whether or not a study ‘replicates’, i.e. whether or not, when you repeat the study with new data, you get the same result. You learned some reasons why replicability may be low in many fields, and how differences between studies may sometimes contribute to this. You also learned about the importance of generalisability in research. Next week, you’ll learn techniques which can support both the integrity and the transparency of your research.
