The phrase "a partial replication" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you are discussing something that is not a complete copy or reproduction of an original item or concept.
Example: "The study provided a partial replication of the original experiment, focusing on only a few key variables."
Alternatives: "a partial copy" or "an incomplete reproduction".
A human rights narrative founded on only a partial replication of this framework is bound to produce distorted results and public unease.
Today Science has published a partial replication of that study that appears to confirm the original findings.
This study is a partial replication of the work of Hamed (2001) who found a negative correlation between waiting time of pedestrians before crossing the first and the second stage of a road divided by an island.
In a partial replication of Shihab's work, Zimmermann et al. (2012) found that bugs reported by users are more likely to be reopened than those discovered through code review or static analysis, supposedly because those reported by users are harder to reproduce and tend to be more complex.
In a partial replication of the study, Wolfer and colleagues [2] tested whether, compared to animal facility reared controls, mice reared in environmentally enriched cages would show higher [3] or lower between-lab experimental variability.
Our results can be considered as a partial replication of a recently published study [14] in which childhood maltreatment was associated with shorter telomere length at the adult age in 31 individuals with no psychiatric disorders, although different measures of childhood adversity was used.
The original 2008 study, an update and partial replication of a similar 2003 effort [ 19], was funded by the Minnesota Department of Human Services and sought to identify problems with access, barriers, and self-reported utilization among publicly insured individuals in Minnesota.
A temperature-dependent partial replication of specific regions of dsRNA could produce the first template-based generation of catalytic ssRNA, similar to the developmental gene transcription process.
As full replication of an experiment may be quite costly, partial replication offers an alternative.
As a particular example of a potentially reproduced result, we found partial replication of the previously reported axon guidance/PD association [ Lesnick et al., 2007] in our study (Fig. 2), but observed that the overall reproducibility of SNP and pathway associations is poor (Figs. 3D F and 4).
The four checks (a local landrace, a local old variety, a local modern variety and the improved variety 'Rihane') were used to detect and correct for any spatial variation across rows and column and the partial replication provided an estimate of the trial error.
