What Are Common Challenges in Achieving Reproducibility?
Despite best efforts, achieving reproducibility can be challenging due to several reasons:
Complex systems: Catalytic systems can be highly complex, with many interacting variables that are difficult to control. Material variability: Differences in catalyst batches or sources of raw materials can lead to variations in results. Environmental factors: Uncontrolled environmental conditions, such as humidity and temperature, can affect experimental outcomes. Publication bias: There is often a preference for publishing positive results, which can skew the scientific record and hinder reproducibility.
