What is a good academic word for "verifiable by scientific data or experiments"? Is "empirical" a suitable word for that? What is a good academic word for verifiable by scientific data or experiments?
Is empirical data a suitable word for that?
P.S EDIT: my question is what is A single word for &quot;derived through experimental data&quot; (opposite to derived through observation)
I mean that word should explain that it can be precisely reproduced by others as well because it's experimental data.
Data are &quot;derived&quot; from observations. Alternatively said, observations become data when we record them. Otherwise, they remain as observations. By example, the only reason we know what Galileo observed during his observations of the moon is because he recorded his observations in pictures, making them data.
The next step in the chain is to &quot;derive&quot; a result. This involves analysis or interpretation.
In summary, the chain is

observation - (to written record) -&gt; data

data - (through analysis or interpretation) -&gt; result


The one word you seek is result.
When you want to further qualify the level of effort taken in making observations, you can use words such as focused, directed, or even scientific as opposed to random or undirected. The phrase &quot;unscientific observations&quot; is not necessarily a &quot;good&quot; way to express the opposite of scientific. So, data obtained from directed observations have perhaps a higher standard than data obtained from random observations.
Suppose instead that you need a qualifying metric that defines the trust that you have in a result that is obtained by the analysis of data from (scientific) experiments or observations. Consider these criteria:

verifiable - able to be found by others
certifiable - attestable
precise - reproducible
accurate - indistinguishable from truth
measurable - subject to quantification through observation
robust - impervious to unpredictable outcomes
empirical - derived through observation
first-principled - derived through reasoning

You may make variations. For example, a verifiable and robust result is one that others can readily find and that has no ambiguities. A robustly verifiable result is one where the method that one uses to find the result has no ambiguities.
A result obtained from experimental observations is essentially empirical by nature. First principled reasoning may be used to define the accuracy of the result. Replicate, certifiable experiments are needed to establish the degree of precision on the result.
