In the context of the EUDAT task force, only several data-sets are replicated in order to bring the 'date replication service' towards production meaning that some communities choose to replicate data from some of their specific scientific projects and not all of them.
Critical resources must be replicated in order to provide desired level of services.
In this situation the experiments should be replicated in order to improve the precision of the estimates.
Therefore, we evaluated whether earlier findings of lower striatal D2/3R availability in obesity can be replicated, in order to increase our understanding on the potential role of dopamine in obesity.
For each plot, we visually estimated floral abundance as the number of times the representative panicle would have to be replicated in order to equal the floral abundance of the plot [51], and then counted the number of inflorescences on the representative panicle to obtain an estimate of the total number of inflorescences per plot.
Also, the GWAS-significant findings in the present study have to be replicated in order to be fully validated.
It is crucial that both stages are replicated in order to estimate the precision of measurements accurately.
Finally, further prospective studies need to be replicated in order to confirm the findings of the present study.
In addition, best practice guidelines for the analysis of FFPE tumour [ 37], germline BRCA analysis [ 38] and assay validation [ 39] should be followed, such as ensuring significant findings can be replicated in order to ensure the results are reliable before adopting the practice into a clinical diagnostics laboratory.
Second, although China and the Netherlands serve as examples of countries with different social and cultural backgrounds in the current study, future studies should be conducted using samples from other typically Western and Eastern countries to see whether the results can be replicated, in order to demonstrate the generalization of the CES-D across different cultural backgrounds.
