How to say "replication" in Japanese
Choosing the right word
- 追試ついしnoun, suru verb, transitive verbCovers the scientific sense of 'replication': repeating an experiment to verify or corroborate its results. Typical context is academic or research writing, where a study is checked by independent researchers.
- 反復はんぷくnoun, suru verb, transitive verbA broad word for 'replication' as repetition or doing something over again. It lacks the specific nuance of verifying experimental results, so it is not the natural choice for the experimental sense of the English word.
Use 追試 when 'replication' means repeating an experiment to verify its results, and 反復 when it refers to repetition or replication in a general or technical sense.
