Question

Two scientists, Tara and Victor, work in the same scientific field of study. Victor asks Tara to review a research paper that he wrote to determine if it should be published. After replication, Tara suggests that Victor's paper should not be published and that he should perform his experiment again. What would be the most likely reason she suggests Victor perform his experiment before publication? Tara does not think that Victor's predictions are likely. Tara does not think that Victor's conclusions are important. Tara does not get the same results when she conducts the experiment. Tara does not find other research papers that published similar information

Answer 1

Tara does not get the same results when she conducts the experiment

Step-by-step explanation:

The most likely reason Tara suggested to Victor to perform the experiment again before publication would be because she did not get the same results when she conducted the experiment.

A good scientific research or experiment should have an element of reproducibility. In order words, the claim made in published scientific research should be reproducible by any other scientist that decides to replicate the research. Tara repeated Victor's experiment in order to check its reproducibility and when she could not reproduce the results, she had to tell Victor to conduct the experiment again before deciding to publish it.
