Check out these articles to learn how to make cancer biology research more reproducible, the reasons reproducibility reform fails, reproducibility in microscopy, and more!  Here is a list of the reproducibility articles that published recently:

• Misidentified biomedical resources: Journal guidelines are not a quick fix, published by Hepkema WM et al. via International Journal of Cancer. The misidentified cell lines study and Rigor the Transparency Index, developed by dkNET co-PI Dr.Martone and FDI lab members, are mentioned in this article!

• Is cancer biology research reproducible? After a decade of work, the answer still isn’t clear, Published by Angus Chen via STATnews.

• Understand the real reasons reproducibility reform fails, published by Dr. Nicole C. Nelson via Nature

• Special focus December issue from Nature Methods featured "Reporting and Reproducibility in Microscopy", published by Nature Method - Check out this issue to learn about the practices and standards for tracking and reporting microscopy metadata!

• Reproducibility in Cancer Biology: Challenges for assessing replicability in preclinical cancer biology, published by Errington TM et al. via eLIFE. Dr. Errington et all conducted a reproducibility project to investigate the replicability of preclinical research in cancer biology. They reported the barriers/challenges, i.e., failed to report key statistics info and insufficient details of protocols.
