New page

== A. Background & Definitions ==

This Toolbox item refers to one of the [[Core Requirements]] (Core Requirement 9 - "Reported data must disclose all repetitions of a study, an experiment, or a test regardless of the outcome").

There is no formal definition what "repetition" is. One has to acknowledge that there are often methodological differences between two or more consecutive repetitions of a study that may be too significant to be considered as repetitions.

EQIPD offers the following basic guidance on how to define repetitions:

Repetitions are studies, experiments or tests that:
* answer the same research question (even if this involves certain variations in the study conditions, experimental variables and outcomes)
* are run consecutively
* are technically valid (i.e. no documented failure of hardware, software, research tool or reagent)
** failure of positive or negative control may usually not be recognized as a technical failure justifying the exclusion of a repetition from being disclosed
** failure of a positive or negative control may justify declaring the test results not valid, but
** failure of a positive or negative control does not justify failing to disclose the repetition

This core requirement applies to both [[2.4.1 Non-public reporting]] and scientific [[2.4.1 Publication]]s.

== B. Guidance & Expectations ==
In all cases, it is up to scientists to decide whether a study (experiment, test) was repeated or not, and, if yes, decide whether reports should disclose data for all repetitions or simply acknowledge the repetitions.

EQIPD expects that a Process Owner conducts regular spot checks on non-public reports and manuscripts prepared for journal submission to make sure that all repetitions are disclosed.

It is up to a Process Owner to decide which method is used to make sure that she/he can identify all repetitions of a study, e.g.:
* use a common [[Unique study ID]] for all repetitions
* add to a repetition study plan reference(s) to previous studies
* maintain a central (for a research unit) list of studies planned and completed
