'Richard Parsons' 'Pantelis Andreou' 'Susanne Hempel'] The use of standardised tools is an essential component of evidence-based practice. Reliance on standardised tools places demands on clinicians to understand their properties, strengths, and weaknesses, in order to interpret results and make clinical decisions.…

'Maria Antonia Roberts' 'Chuhsing Kate Hsiao'] The interpretation of forensic fingerprint evidence relies on the expertise of latent print examiners. We tested latent print examiners on the extent to which they reached consistent decisions. This study assessed intra-examiner repeatability by retesting 72 examiners on…

Quantitative imaging biomarkers (QIBs) are increasingly used in clinical studies. Because many QIBs are derived through multiple steps in image data acquisition and data analysis, QIB measurements can produce large variabilities, posing a significant challenge in translating QIBs into clinical trials, and ultimately…

Measurement repeatability is often reported in morphometric studies as an index of the contribution of measurement error to trait measurements. However, the common method of remeasuring a mounted specimen fails to capture some components of measurement error, and could therefore yield inflated repeatability estimates.…

Automated synthesis and open-data practices are increasingly seen as key enablers of transparent, traceable, and reproducible science. By combining automation with structured, metadata-rich documentation, it becomes possible to systematically com- pare synthesis strategies and link outcomes to detailed parameters. In…

'Brian Caffo'] - Abstract. The advent of modern data collection and processing techniques has seen the size, scale, and complexity of data grow exponentially. A seminal step in leveraging these rich datasets for downstream inference is understanding the characteristics of the data which are repeatable – the aspects of…

Reliability of data has become a major concern in the course of the reproducibility crisis. Especially when studying animal behavior, confounding factors such as novel test apparatus can lead to a wide variability of data. At worst, effects of novelty or stress related behavior can mask treatment effects and the…

Unknown quantum state of a single system cannot be discovered as a measured system is reprepared – it jumps into an eigenstate of the measured observable. This impossibility to find out a quantum state and other symptoms usually blamed on the wavepacket collapse follow (as was recently demonstrated for pure states of…

Forensic firearms identification, the determination by a trained firearms examiner as to whether or not bullets or cartridges came from a common weapon, has long been a mainstay in the criminal courts. Reliability of forensic firearms identification has been challenged in the general scientific community, and, in…

Measures of cognitive performance, derived from psychometric tasks, have yielded important insights into the factors governing cognitive variation. However, concerns remain over the robustness of these measures, which may be susceptible to non-cognitive factors such as motivation and persistence. Efforts to quantify…

Reproducibility has become an intensely debated topic in NLP and ML over recent years, but no commonly accepted way of assessing reproducibility, let alone quantifying it, has so far emerged. The assumption has been that wider scientific reproducibility terminology and definitions are not applicable to NLP/ML, with the…

In many evolving systems, mutations have background-dependent fitness effects due to genetic interactions between loci within a genome (intragenomic epistasis). In coevolving species, genetic interactions can span across genomes, which has been described as intergenomic epistasis. It is known that intragenomic…

Individual behaviour is a combination of previous experiences and genetic factors whose interaction can be adaptively adjusted to respond to changes in the surrounding environment. Understanding the continuity of behaviours both within and among individuals can help us disentangle the ecological and evolutionary…

'Brian Befano' 'Sílvia de Sanjosé' 'Diden Egemen' 'Ana Cecilia Rodríguez' 'Mark Schiffman' 'J. Peter Campbell' 'Jayashree Kalpathy-Cramer'] The integration of artificial intelligence into clinical workflows requires reliable and robust models. Repeatability is a key attribute of model robustness. Repeatable models…

This paper proposes three measures to quantify the characteristics of online signature templates in terms of distinctiveness, complexity and repeatability. A distinctiveness measure of a signature template is computed from a set of enrolled signature samples and a statistical assumption about random signatures.…

Evolutionary biologists have long sought to understand what factors affect the repeatability of adaptive outcomes. To better understand the role of temperature in determining the repeatability of adaptive trajectories, we evolved populations of different genotypes of the ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila at low and high…

Aversive learning – avoiding certain situations based on negative experiences – can profoundly increase fitness in animal species. The extent to which this cognitive mechanism could evolve depends upon individual differences in aversive learning being stable through time, and heritable across generations, yet no…

Replicability is a term that not only comes with different meanings in the literature of many domains but is often associated or confused with other terms such as ‘reproducibility,’ ‘repeatability,’ ‘reliability,’ ‘validity,’ and so on. To add to the confusion, it can even be used differently across diverse…

'Nicolas Mouquet'] Repeatability of community composition has been a critical aspect for community structure, which is closely associated with community stability, predictability, conservation biology and ecological restoration. It has been shown that both immigration and local dispersal limitation can affect the…

Microarrays are widely used for detecting target analytes and biomarkers, with fabrication methods ranging from non-contact to contact bioprinting techniques. Microcontact bioprinting (μCP), which utilizes elastomeric stamps to transfer biorecognition molecules (bioinks) onto substrates, offers advantages such as…

As demand rises for scalable and sustainable energy storage, fast and low-cost diagnostics capable of identifying cell-to-cell variations are urgently needed, particularly for factory-produced sorting and second-life assessment. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is widely used but remains slow, expensive and…

Developing approaches to improve motor skill learning is of considerable interest across multiple disciplines. Previous research has typically shown that repeating the same action on consecutive trials enhances short-term performance, but has detrimental effects on longer term skill acquisition. However, most prior…

Iteroselectivity is the selectivity that governs the number of repeating chemical transformations on a substrate bearing multiple identical reactive functions or when the reactive function is regenerated like in the case of polymerization. This new concept of selectivity is defined and compared with the classical…
