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 ...

Modern biology runs on precision, yet so much of the daily lab workflow remains stubbornly manual. Even today, one of the ...

Reproducibility is one of the buzziest terms in science today. After all, science by its nature is not supposed to be a one-and-done affair. But a new paper in Science Translational Medicine argues ...

The lack of robust reproducibility in the scientific literature is both shocking and troubling, and has been a widely covered topic over the past couple years. Later in 2011, some real data was added ...
