Reproducibility is an important aspect of science; reproducibility allows for alternate viewpoints; improvements in the referrant study; and verification that the referrant study is actually possible.

It could just be my perspective when reading studies; but I’m not seeing much scientists actively attempt to reproduce the result of the referrant study.

EDIT: or I’m just not seeing it somehow.

    Could be the kind of studies you’re reading. I doubt “studies” that go towards “testing” the “efficacy” of a product care too much about reproducibility though. Like wow, as it turns out, maybe our toothpaste activated charcoal goop isn’t as good as the “science” said, hmmm…
