ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses both approaches of research on experimental replicability. Experimental replicability is considered to be self-evident and indispensable in the traditional notion of science. Experimental replicability means that both processes and results of experiment are repeatable, and that a successful experiment does not vary with different time, space, and subjects. Replicability is one of the criteria of a successful experiment. Replicability of experiment is the most important standard especially when the results of experiment is in doubt and questionable. The issue of experimental replicability is an important part in sociologists of scientific knowledge laboratory studies. Replicability of material realization needs the same process and material phenomena of experiment, rather than the same theoretical interpretation. Experimental practice is a very complex process. Empirical research would reveal those problems involved in the principle of replicability. Non-local norm is intelligible, though the replicability of experiment is originated in specific situations.
