Dear researchers
You must have heard about "reproducibility crisis". Does it exist, is it a problem? Regardless of an answer, adherence to Good Scientific Practice is more important than ever. This includes the way we prepare, design, conduct, analyze and report our studies.
What and how we can improve there? Is it time for change?
These questions will be addressed during the virtual workshop on April 21. All our speakers are involved in the EQIPD consortium (Enhancing Quality in Preclinical Data -
https://quality-preclinical-data.eu/), with Prof.
Malcolm Macleod and Dr. Thomas Steckler being the leaders of the project.
In the end, we propose to establish the Finnish Reproducibility Network (RN), and to join the network of already established RNs (in UK, Switzerland, Germany, Slovakia, Australia -
https://www.ukrn.org/international-networks/).
Program and link to the registration is available here:
Hope to see you in the meeting,
Vootele Voikar, on behalf of all organisers
