摘要

Lack of robustness and potential bias are growing concerns for research, including for sustainable agriculture. Research confirmation requires independent duplication of field experiments, modeling and other analyses. Key concepts include “repeatability” (consistency within an experiment), “replicability” (same team, different environments), and “reproducibility” (independent team, different environments). Researchers must improve workflow descriptions, especially regarding crop environments and management. A useful metric is how well research could be reproduced in ten years.
