Word origin

The term 'replicability' originated in the field of scientific research, particularly in the context of experimental psychology and other empirical sciences. The concept gained prominence as a response to concerns about the reproducibility crisis in science, where many studies were found to be not replicable or reproducible. Researchers and institutions have since placed a greater emphasis on ensuring replicability in research to enhance the trustworthiness of scientific findings.
