A reproducibility crisis is ongoing in scientific research, where many studies may be difficult or impossible to replicate and thereby validate, especially when the study involves a very large sample ...

As the result of a mandate from Congress, the National Academies will explore the issues of reproducibility and replication in scientific and engineering research. The committee will explore what is ...

While computational reproducibility in scientific research is generally expected when the original data and code are available, lack of ability to replicate a previous study—or obtain consistent ...

Bioimaging data have significant potential for reuse, but unlocking this potential requires systematic archiving of data and metadata in public databases. We propose draft metadata guidelines to begin ...

Science isn’t facing a reproducibility catastrophe, but the scientific community could take important steps to improve reporting and replicability, according to a new report from the US National ...

Independent verification of data is a cornerstone of scientific research. The scientific method relies on reproducibility to validate findings and build upon existing work. Ideally, researchers should ...

Many people have been there. The dinner party is going well until someone decides to introduce a controversial topic. In today’s world, that could be anything from vaccines to government budget cuts ...

CRISPR’s use has vast potential in basic research to add to the understanding of cellular activity and in healthcare for precision therapies for today’s untreatable diseases. To date, some 30 clinical ...

Michael Weinstein talks to BioTechniques about his work in bioinformatics and creating software to improve the accuracy and reproducibility of microbiome data. Can you tell us a bit about yourself and ...
