Introduction: This session will focus on concrete steps that biomedical researchers can take to implement more reproducible research practices in their laboratories. These include using research resource identifiers (RRIDs) to identify key reagents, creating and sharing reproducible protocols that can be used by others, and using guidelines and automated screening tools to enhance experimental rigor and improve reporting. Attendees will learn to recognize and fix common errors in data visualization and statistical reporting. Presenters will highlight tools and resources designed to assist researchers in implementing better practices. After attending the symposium, researchers should have a clear understanding of steps that they can immediately take to improve transparency and rigor in their next grant, research project, or paper.
