Is reproducing or implementing a paper considered research? [R]

I completed my bachelors recently and I plan to applying to a masters program either this cycle or the next. Unfortunately, I did not publish any papers or do any research during my undergrad. Right now I’m in a research internship which is coming to and soon and it’s unlikely that I’ll get to publish a paper. I would like to know if reproducing results from a known paper for validation or extension or a comparative analysis counts as credible research. It’s the only thing I could find to do independently.
