Before scientists declare an idea or solution to be true what must they make sure to do?

In science, there really is no way of saying that something is true. However, there is a way to create an acceptable theory which proves accurate. The difference between the truth and a theory is that the truth is what happens, a theory is only something that occurs on a certain percentile. To obtain a presentable and precise theory, one must follow the Scientific Method. This method consists of several steps. First, they must propose a hypothesis, Form a theory, test that theory, gather and compare their results, and finally create a conclusion. If the theory runs accurately and others reach the same conclusion, then they can agree that the conclusion is a true theory.
