It's just the conclusions that need to be reproducible. In fact, science as a whole works better when researchers devise alternate experiments to test the same conclusion.

For example, say I measure gravitational acceleration on Earth by dropping a feather repeatedly. I get a number and I publish it. If other scientists just repeat my exact experiment, they will get a similar number and my result will be confirmed. Yay science!

But if scientists decide to check my number by dropping a wide variety of other objects, they will illustrate the flaws in my original experiment and everyone will get a clearer picture of gravity.

So it's not about just reproducing an experiment; scientists seek to test and expand upon each others' results.
