scientists often work on projects for a long time and fail to see sources of error in their research. Which process allows an outside expert to look at the scientist’s project and point to sources of error?

Answer :

Answer:

Replication

Explanation:

In science, the work of a scientist is regarded as authentic if other experts in other places can follow the same steps as he/she claimed to follow and arrive at the same result.

For example, a scientist in California, United States of America may carry out a research and publish his findings. Another scientist in Christchurch New Zealand following exactly the same procedure is expected to arrive at the same results as the original researcher if there were no errors in the work.

However, where there are disparities in results, the scientist in Newzealand may discover errors that were unknown to the original researcher in the united States. The New Zealand scientist was carrying out a process known as 'replication'. That is, repeating a scientific research in order to obtain the same results thereby validating the research.
