'Anne-Laure Boulesteix'] Empirical substantive research, such as in the life or social sciences, is commonly categorized into the two modes exploratory and confirmatory, both of which are essential to scientific progress. The former is also referred to as hypothesis-generating or data-contingent research, the latter is…

Methods sections are often missing critical details needed to reproduce an experiment. Methodological shortcut citations, in which authors cite previous papers instead of describing the method in detail, may contribute to this problem. This meta-research study used three approaches to systematically examine the use of…

Reproducibility is a significant concern in scientific research and complex methods like quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) demand stringent reporting standards to ensure that the methods are reproducible, data are sound, and conclusions are trustworthy. Although the MIQE (Minimum Information for Publication…

One of the fundamental principles of health research integrity is that research methods and results should be completely and transparently reported. Clear, detailed reporting allows the reader to understand how a study was designed and conducted, to judge the reliability of its findings and the reproducibility of its…

Background: The Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) statement is the global benchmark for transparent and high-quality reporting of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Manual verification of CONSORT adherence is a laborious, time-intensive process that constitutes a significant bottleneck in peer…

An academic scientist's professional success depends on publishing. Publishing norms emphasize novel, positive results. As such, disciplinary incentives encourage design, analysis, and reporting decisions that elicit positive results and ignore negative results. Prior reports demonstrate how these incentives inflate…

Incorporating biotransformation capabilities into in vitro assays represents one of the most critical challenges in toxicology, facilitating the transition from in vivo models to integrated in vitro strategies. Although emerging technologies show promise, their current limitations in scalability hinder high-throughput…

The iDSI reference case, originally published in 2014, aims to improve the quality and comparability of cost-effectiveness analyses (CEAs). This study assesses whether the development of the guideline has improved the reporting and methodology for CEAs using disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs). We analyzed the Tufts…

Current attempts at methodological reform in sciences come in response to an overall lack of rigor in methodological and scientific practices in experimental sciences. However, some of these reform attempts suffer from the same mistakes and over-generalizations they purport to address. Considering the costs of allowing…

Background Despite endorsement by medical journals, reporting guidelines have only modestly affected reporting quality in healthcare research. We aimed to identify influences affecting whether authors successfully adhere to reporting guidelines. Methods We searched MEDLINE, Embase, PsychINFO, AMED, WHO Global Index…

Recently, shot noise has been shown to be an inherent part of all charge transfer processes, leading to a practical limit of quantification of 2100 electrons (~0.34 fC) (Curr. Opin. Electrochem. 2020, 22, 170177). Attainable limits of quantification are made much larger by greater background currents and insufficient…

Scientific workflows facilitate the automation of data analysis tasks by integrating various software and tools executed in a particular order. To enable transparency and reusability in workflows, it is essential to implement the FAIR principles. Here, we describe our experiences implementing the FAIR principles for…

Metabolomics utilising liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) offers biomedical researchers a powerful means of assessing and comparing human phenotypes via measurement of the metabolome in biological samples. Platforms for LC-MS-based global profiling quantify hundreds or thousands of small molecule…
