Webinar: A masterclass on research reporting and ethical reproducibility in life sciences

PCR lab methods

Check out this webinar, featuring BioTechniques Editor in Chief, Francesca Lake.

Data reproducibility is key to the development and credibility of scientific evidence. All results should be replicable by different investigators in varied geographical settings, using independent data, instruments, and analytical methods. In biomedical research, the reproducibility crisis is perpetual.

To address this plaguing issue, researchers have adopted best practices such as the inclusion of standard research reporting guidelines, automation of data analyses, utilization of public data repositories, and revelation of negative or null results. This webinar, conducted in collaboration with Enago, will discuss the underlying causes of poor data reproducibility and ways to circumvent these pitfalls.

You will learn

  • Primary reasons for poor data reproducibility
  • Methods for addressing low reproducibility
  • Standard research reporting guidelines
  • Transparency and ethical reproducibility – Best practices and standards
