Dr. Meco's work is an example of "replication".

Replication is a term alluding to the redundancy of an research, by and large with various circumstances and diverse subjects, to decide whether the essential discoveries of the first study can be applicable to different members and conditions. For instance, envision that researchers play out a test demonstrating that using hypnotism can be powerful in helping middle aged smokers quit their habit. Different analysts should need to recreate a similar report with some young smokers to check whether they achieve a similar outcome.
