Learn English – “That the results are not reproducible” or “that the results are unreproducible”

negationnegative-prefixesun-notwritingwriting-style

What is better to write?

  1. that my results are not reproducible

  2. that my results are unreproducible

How can it be re-written as positive affirmation (preserving the same meaning)?

Edit:
Do not I remember correctly that it is better to write negative sentence than positive but much more lengthy? This question is about technical copywriting.

Update:
When I was writing the question, I did not account for the fact that there are 4 "synonyms":

  • non-reproducible,
  • unreproducible,
  • irreproducible,
  • not reproducible

Update:

Best Answer

I would usually say not reproducible, and if I wanted to use a single word I would always use irreproducible rather than unreproducible.
