English translation:external validity/scope of application of results of the studies
Explanation:
The original explanation is about results of studies. The contextual limit of the study usually means how applicable it is in a practical context outside of the study itself. This is the definition of 'external validity' of the results of the study in academic research.
However, if the term is not used in an academic context then the most appropriate term, in my view, is the 'the scope for the application' of results of the studies.
