Is replicability necessary in the production of knowledge? Discuss with reference to two areas of knowledge.

Natural Sciences
Certain and truthful knowledge within any natural science can be replicated and will lead to the same results multiple times. Furthermore, the hypothesis formulates around replicability.
Replication accounts to justification behind a hypothesis to work and indicates the truth/certainty behind a knowledge.
Replication within Natural Sciences could also lead to new discovery therefore aids with the production of knowledge. Because experiments and theories are flawed by human errors, replicability of experiments or theories may change depending on the results assessed probabilistically changed. Revision of likelihood.
Due to the universal laws of natural sciences, replicability is a way to share knowledge with the production of knowledge. Moreover, different scientific communities may replicate the production of a knowledge and may lead to another discovery.

Reference to Both
Questioning the origin of knowledge: Prior to the existence of a knowledge of which was not previously available at the time, how do we know if it is beneficial or truthful?
Reproducibility is obtaining consistent results using the same input data; computational steps, methods, and code; and conditions of analysis. This definition is synonymous with “computational reproducibility,” and the terms are used interchangeably in this report.
Replicability is obtaining consistent results across studies aimed at answering the same scientific question, each of which has obtained its own data. Two studies may be considered to have replicated if they obtain consistent results given the level of uncertainty inherent in the system under study.
What is the production of knowledge? It refers to the complex and time consuming process of acquiring new knowledge widely understandable and available to a society(ies) of which was not previously attainable.
-
Human Sciences
Replicability in social experiments is crucial for the production of knowledge due to the changing variables of society- generational change. People vary in relation to economic and political changes.
E.g. economics (methodology) - real GDP may not be accurate but it is the best universal way of measuring welfare.
For example, the human science of economics requires constant replicability of knowledge due to new production of knowledge based on societal changes.
