Replication may refer to:

Science
  • Replication (scientific method) is one of the main principles of the scientific method, a.k.a. reproducibility
    Reproducibility
    Reproducibility is the ability of an experiment or study to be accurately reproduced, or replicated, by someone else working independently...

    • Replication (statistics)
      Replication (statistics)
      In engineering, science, and statistics, replication is the repetition of an experimental condition so that the variability associated with the phenomenon can be estimated. ASTM, in standard E1847, defines replication as "the repetition of the set of all the treatment combinations to be compared in...

      , the repetition of a test or complete experiment
  • Self-replication
    Self-replication
    Self-replication is any behavior of a dynamical system that yields construction of an identical copy of that dynamical system. Biological cells, given suitable environments, reproduce by cell division. During cell division, DNA is replicated and can be transmitted to offspring during reproduction...

    , the process in which an entity (a cell, virus, program, etc.) makes a copy of itself.
    • DNA replication
      DNA replication
      DNA replication is a biological process that occurs in all living organisms and copies their DNA; it is the basis for biological inheritance. The process starts with one double-stranded DNA molecule and produces two identical copies of the molecule...

       or DNA synthesis, the process of copying a double-stranded DNA molecule
    • Semiconservative replication
      Semiconservative replication
      Semiconservative replication describes the mechanism by which DNA is replicated in all known cells.This mechanism of replication was one of three models originally proposedfor DNA replication:...

      , mechanism of DNA replication
  • Self-replicating machine
    Self-replicating machine
    A self-replicating machine is an artificial construct that is theoretically capable of autonomously manufacturing a copy of itself using raw materials taken from its environment, thus exhibiting self-replication in a way analogous to that found in nature. The concept of self-replicating machines...

Computing
  • Replication (computer science)
    Replication (computer science)
    Replication is the process of sharing information so as to ensure consistency between redundant resources, such as software or hardware components, to improve reliability, fault-tolerance, or accessibility. It could be data replication if the same data is stored on multiple storage devices, or...

    , the use of redundant resources to improve reliability, fault-tolerance, or performance
  • Replication (stochastic simulation), an individual run of a stochastic simulation model
  • Replication (optical media)
    Replication (optical media)
    In optical disc manufacturing, replication is the process of producing discs via methods that do not involve "burning" blank CD, DVD or other discs; the latter is known as duplication.The replication of optical discs involves:...

    , the manufacture of CDs and DVDs by means other than burning writable discs


Other
  • Replication (metallography)
    Replication (metallography)
    Replication, in metallography, is the use of thin plastic films to nondestructively duplicate the microstructure of a component. The film is then examined at high magnifications....

    , the use of thin plastic films to duplicate the microstructure of a component
  • Option replication, a trading strategy
    Trading strategy
    In finance, a trading strategy is a predefined set of rules for making trading decisions.Traders, investment firms and fund managers use a trading strategy to help make wiser investment decisions and help eliminate the emotional aspect of trading. A trading strategy is governed by a set of rules...

    to ensure at a certain date the payoff of an option without trading this option
