Answer

Researchers often need to replicate each other's experiments, so using a common measurement system makes this easy to do. Using a standard measurement system makes sure that the data collected in a replicated experiment can be comparable to the original experiment. The metric system is most often used by researchers when they are collecting data or running experiments. The metric system is based on multiples of 10, so it is easy to understand and use.
