On the reproducibility of science: unique identification of research resources in the biomedical literature
Scientific reproducibility has been at the forefront of many news stories and there exist numerous initiatives to help address this problem. We posit that a contributor is simply a lack of specificity that is required to enable adequate research reproducibility. In particular, the inability to uniquely identify research resources, such as antibodies and model organisms, makes it difficult or im...
متن کاملThe reproducibility of biomedical research: Sleepers awake!
There is increasing concern about the reliability of biomedical research, with recent articles suggesting that up to 85% of research funding is wasted. This article argues that an important reason for this is the inappropriate use of molecular techniques, particularly in the field of RNA biomarkers, coupled with a tendency to exaggerate the importance of research findings.
متن کاملComparability and reproducibility of biomedical data
With the development of novel assay technologies, biomedical experiments and analyses have gone through substantial evolution. Today, a typical experiment can simultaneously measure hundreds to thousands of individual features (e.g. genes) in dozens of biological conditions, resulting in gigabytes of data that need to be processed and analyzed. Because of the multiple steps involved in the data...
متن کاملOpen Science and Research Reproducibility
Many scientists, journals and funders are concerned about the low reproducibility of many scientific findings. One approach that may serve to improve the reliability and robustness of research is open science. Here I argue that the process of pre-registering study protocols, sharing study materials and data, and posting preprints of manuscripts may serve to improve quality control procedures at...
متن کاملThe Seven Faces of Brazilian Society
In this article contemporary Brazilian society is charted as a product of the complementary, as well as conflictive, co-existence of seven institutions: 1) patrimonialism; 2) the rationalizing state; 3) capitalism; 4) social inequality and heterogeneity; 5) the non-cumulative logic of organizations; 6) citizenship; 7) patterns of sociability. These institutions may overlap, complement each othe...
