We also include our usual top 3 articles for the month and our Hidden Jewels.

We also include our usual top 3 articles for the month and our Hidden Jewels.
A recent Opinion Article by Jan Voskuil, Aeonian Biotech, discussed the challenges in validation of research antibodies. It was openly peer reviewed by Michael Weller, Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM), Germany. In this blog, both discuss these challenges, the reproducibility crisis and open data.
The Preclinlical Reproducibility and Robustness channel facilitates the open and transparent publication and discussion of confirmatory and non-confirmatory studies in biomedical research. Alongside our open data and method policies, this space was developed as part of our continued efforts to implement publishing practices which promote reproducibility. Leonard Freedman, President of GBSI, discusses the Reproducibility2020 initiative and offers some welcome optimism.
