Stephen Schneider of Stanford University in California and editor of the Climate Change journal, said in an email to CRU scientists and others in January 2009: "Our best way of dealing with this issue of replication is to have multiple independent author teams, with their own codes and data sets, publishing independent work on the same topics..
Zahirovic acknowledges the challenge but says his team used multiple, independent sources of geologic information to "resurrect and estimate" ancient plate boundaries.
Even then, however, the problem of redundancy and inefficiency might remain for example, there is already evidence that for some topics—such as anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) agents for rheumatoid arthritis there are already multiple network meta-analyses published by independent teams.
This required the pursuit of multiple independent networks, unrelated to the research team.
Steps taken to maximise reflexivity and analytical rigour included using multiple independent coders and discussions within the research team to reach agreement.
The challenges of the release team in GNOME are associated with the size and complexity of managing multiple independent projects, and developed by volunteers in a distributed setting. .
A team of virologists, epidemiologists, and veterinarians reports on page 387 that the evidence points to multiple, independent sources of the continuing--and apparently increasing--outbreaks of Ebola in central Africa.
"It seems to be something that had multiple independent origins".
Multiple independent reports, each littered with devastating examples of the human casualties, have proved this.
Far-fetched, perhaps, but two independent teams of researchers have found evidence that within the past 10 million years, our planet was in fact exposed to multiple nearby supernovae.
