Reproducibility in science means enough information is disclosed, such that the data can be reproduced. It does not mean it has to be repeated to be believed.

Reproducibility is a key part of the scientific method. I'm surprised people are so willing to toss it aside.

Reproducibility doesn't require the original data set to be present, only that the method of conducting that particular study reproducible. There are huge differences.

If you want to reproduce the analysis, you sure as heck do need original data.

I probably sound like a broken record, but this is standard across scientific disciplines. No raw data and people call bullshit.
