Abstract

Evidence-based solutions are needed to help improve reproducibility in research. This Consensus View presents a consensus-based list of core reproducibility items for research that has been developed by a multidisciplinary group interested in research, open science, and reproducibility. The set of minimum requirements presented here outlines core expectations regarding planning, methods, data collection, management and analysis, and dissemination. This tool aims to improve the reproducibility of methods and results throughout all phases of the research process and, more generally, to promote a broader cultural shift toward transparent, reliable research.
