The decrease in cost and increase in scale of biological data production and its diverse applications has changed life science research in recent years. Applied bioinformatics skills are now essential to successfully analyse data from high-throughput ‘omics instrumentation in many fields of biology. This has resulted in a need to upskill the life science workforce,…
Late last year, we published the first Stage 1 Registered Report on F1000Research. Publishing Registered Reports is believed to increase the rigor around the scientific method, which supports reproducibility. We interviewed the lead author, Julius Emmrich, Charité, Germany and one of the article’s reviewers, Ádám Dénes, Institute of Experimental Medicine, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, to get an insight into their views on this way of improving experimental design.
