Abstract

This short paper provides a brief glossary drawing on emerging norms for how reproducibility-related terms are defined. We suggest improved precision and a new term to improve clarity and avoid dual use. Specifically, we affirm the emerging standard definitions for reproducibility, robustness, and replicability, introduce the term repeatability, and clarify the use of credibility and trustworthiness in this context.
